I read Blue Coyote on a whim, and I loved it. In the book, Alex Beekman's best friend has disappeared, and Alex goes to find him. The search turns into a painful adventure, physically and emotionally, and Alex grows in confidence and self-acceptance. In the end, Alex is less of a boy and more of a man, prepared to make difficult decisions for himself. Besides the main plot, in which Alex finds his friend and comes to terms with being gay, the book explores Alex's relationships with his family and friends, which is often loving and sometimes strained. The author describes Vermont and California beautifully.

The book Coyote Blue is an awesome book filled with surprises! This book is about a boy named Alex who moves to a new place and struggles to find his true identity. I liked this book because it kept me on my feet and made me never want to put it down! My favorite character is this book was Jimbo because he is always there when someone needs a helping hand. Also, he isn't how I expected him to be. I thought that because the author describes him as a big man who works in a tattoo shop. My least favorite character was Ken. I said Ken because it seemed like he was trying to make Alex jealous. I know u don't know what I'm talking about but that's why you need to read this book! If people bully you around or have trouble respecting you for who you are you will love this book. One other thing that I loved about this book was the big surprise because not many authors have a twist like that.

I loved this book. It had great Characters and the story was real good. I recommend this book to anybody who likes a great story about love, friendship and just being you. If anybody knows any information about a sequel on this book please tell me. I want to hear what happens to Alex now that he is his true self.

This is a well written book. It goes along with the first book "Twelve Days in August" but you don't need to read the first one to understand what is going on. Plus, this one doesn't have more flash backs than present plot like some sequels. It adresses the issue of homosexuality in teens well, although not always true to life and other times dead on. Give this book a go. You won't be dissapointed.

This is a naturally written book (although sometimes feeling over-written) that explores the inner world of a young man and homosexuality.
