In Other Boys , debut author Damian Alexander delivers a moving middle grade graphic memoir about his struggles with bullying, the death of his mother, and coming out.
He loves ghost stories, miniatures, and watching cartoons with his cats on sunny afternoons..
Damian\'s illustrations and comic shorts can be found on The Trevor Project, Narratively, The Nib and others.
His first graphic novel, Other Boys , is based off his viral and award winning autobiographical webcomics.
But if Boys can be so cruel, why does Damian have a crush on one? About author(s): Damian Alexander is a cartoonist and storyteller who grew up in and around Boston.
Kids have teased him about this his whole life, especially Other boys.
And Damian does things that Boys aren\'t supposed do, like play with Barbies instead of GI Joe.
His family doesn\'t look like the kind on TV: his mOther is dead, his father is gone, and he\'s being raised by his grandparents in a low-income household.
If he keeps his mouth shut, the bullies will have nothing to tease him about--right? But Damian\'s vow of silence doesn\'t work--his classmates can tell there\'s something different about him.
Starting on the first day seventh grade, he won\'t utter a word.
Damian is the new kid at school, and he has a foolproof plan to avoid the bullying that\'s plagued him his whole childhood: he\'s going to stop talking.
