End of the Innocence — John Goode

Tales from Foster High: Book Two

Kyle Stilleno is no longer the invisible boy, and he doesn't know how he feels about it. On one hand, he now has a great boyfriend, Brad Graymark, a handful of new friends, and even a new job. On the other hand, no one screamed obscenities at him in public when he was invisible.

No one expected him to become a poster boy for gay rights either -- at least not until he stepped out of the closet and into the limelight. But with only a few months of high school left, Kyle doubts he can make a difference.

With Christmas break drawing closer and their trials far from over, Kyle and Brad have each other to lean on. Others are not so lucky. One of their classmates needs their help -- but Kyle and Brad's relationship may be too new to survive the strain.
