SPROUT

            I read the book sprout. Sprout is a boy who lives in the-middle-of-no-were Kansas. He moved there four years ago, when his mom died of cancer. His dad is an alcoholic. He's isn't mean to Sprout, but he isn't the best father either. Sprout is gay, but he hasn't come out at his school. Still every one knows. He dies his hair green, hence the nick-name Sprout. HIs real name is Daniel. 
            HIs best friend is Ruthie Wilcox. She helps him write stories and dyes his hair. THen in eleventh grade, they don't get any classes together. A new kid comes to school, his name is Ty. At first, they are just friends. Ty doesn't really show who he really is, but his father beats him, and his twin brother committed suicide. Sprout tries to get closer to him. He like Ty. But Ty is not willing to share anything. Finally, after they are chased by a dog into a tree, they decide to go out. It works for a while. Then Ruthie finds them in the janitors closet, kissing. 
             She doesn't mind, but Ty dose and he disappears. No oner can find him. And Sprout has to go to a state essay writing contest. First he can't decide what to write about. Ty? His mother? That he's gay? Finally he decides that, he is going to write about himself, and what it is to be him.




i really like this book.
