Overview

"When Ben Brickman and Dave McConnell learn of each other's hidden sexual abuse trauma, they decide to confront their demons by abducting a dangerous high school bully. After their plan for revenge takes a shocking turn, the boys must grapple with good and evil and what it means to be a man. Drawn in part from the author's personal experience as a sexual abuse survivor, The Stone Boys is a both a dramatic page-turner and a profoundly emotional read. Arriving as our society contends with a crisis of childhood sexual abuse, The Stone Boys is not only timely and courageous -- but the first of its kind. Praise for THE STONE BOYS: ""Gripping . . .

Recommended for mature students."" --School Library Journal ""Gurian incorporates autobiographical elements into a story built not around easy answers but anguished inner arguments . . . of use for discussing the cycle of abuse."" --Kirkus Reviews ""The Stone Boys is a uniquely powerful novel by one of America's leading experts on the subject of boys. Protagonist Ben Brickman's journey to deal with his deepest emotions is relentlessly and authentically written . . . unforgettable."" --Terry Trueman, Printz Honor Author of Stuck in Neutral ""The Stone Boys makes it safe for boys to deal with experiences and topics not usually verbalized.
