Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

Sixteen year old Simon has recently come to terms with being gay, but hasn't told anyone. But, when he leaves his email open and another student discovers his secret, Simon must decide how he will tell his family and friends the truth, come to terms with being openly gay, handle his first gay relationship, and deal with bullying. Topical issues of bullying, self-discovery, and sexual identity are presented. Due to sexual references and language, this award-winning novel would be suitable for independent study or in literature circles for senior students who have been cautioned about the content.
