Another Kind of Cowboy


Another Kind of Cowboy
by
Susan Juby
Young Adult fiction.

This was on a list of books nominated for a YA award. I saw from the description that the main character is gay. I wasn't sure how graphic this would be, but it is tastefully done and rather innocent as he is age 14-17 in the book and the only sexual references are to one kiss and one handholding.
Alex has always loved horses, but there is no way his Dad will understand that he really wants to perform dressage. As if a kid doesn't have enough troubles just being a teen, Alex also is deciding who to tell about his being homosexual. His rich friend, Cleo, has her own troubles. Are these teens going to be alright one way or another?
