Jack's on Fire: A Modern Queer Fairy Tale

What if you were a queer teenage musician outed by his vengeful ex-boyfriend and not a fairy tale princess trapped in a castle tower? What if your wicked stepmother was your ordinary, thoughtless, uncaring mother? What if your fairy godmother was your older brother? What if your Prince Charming was captain of the JV soccer team? Maybe you'd be forgiven for not realizing you were living in a sort of fairy tale.Faced with the impossible choice of staying home to risk being sent away to Father Sullivan's special school for exceptionally happy boys or moving in with his older brother in California, 16-yr-old Jack Martin leaves behind everything he knows in Minneapolis to go to San Francisco. He finds himself at a new school with new friends and the freedom to be himself. Then sparks fly when Jack meets Damon, his Geometry tutor (and captain of the JV soccer team.) But Jack wonders if Damon feels those sparks, too. And does their budding friendship have a chance to become something more?Jack's On Fire is a heartwarming, modern, queer fairy tale about friendship, chosen family, and young, queer love. Sure, there aren't any fairies or wands. But what else would you call it when everything starts magically going your way?
