Others: Positive"Fee, a Korean-American child growing up in Maine, inhabits a fantasy world of spirits and heroes. Gifted with a beautiful soprano voice, Fee sings in a professional boys' choir. When the choir director acts out his pedophilic urges on the boys in the choir, Fee is unable to save himself, his first love, Peter, or his friends - complicit within a silence both inexplicable and growing as each boy succumbs to the molestation. His friendship with Peter deteriorates under the pressures of this mutual silent shame, leaving a hole within him that he cannot fill.". "The choir director is arrested and imprisoned for his crimes, but the damage he inflicted remains: Peter self-immolates, another shoots himself in the head. Fee wanders through college, loving men he won't have sex with and having sex with men he doesn't love, and attempts suicide himself. He survives, and, now an adult, moves with his lover Bridey back to Maine, taking a job teaching art at a private boarding school. But when he meets a student named Warden - the choir director's son who knows nothing of his father's heinous crimes - Fee, lost in the way Warden resembles Peter, has no choice but to confront the demons and ghosts of his brutal past."--BOOK JACKET.

Others: PositiveAmerican Idol meets The Hunger Games in this campy, dystopian satire about a teen betting her life that her singing talent can make her a star from the celebrated author of This Book Is Gay, Juno Dawson.The world just seems to take and take from Taryn Beck, but there’s one thing it’ll never her voice. Only when she’s singing does Taryn feel like she can escape her reality—free from the aftermath of the War, free from the Scottish refugee camps where she and her family now live, and free from the responsibility of making ends meet for the sake of her sick brother. Taryn’s voice is her one ticket out, and that’s why she enters to be a contestant on the world’s most watched television Starmaker, where kids from the New Peace Global Alliance compete for the chance to join an all-singing, all-dancing pop group. Rise to the top, and a life of luxury, stardom, and money awaits. There’s only one small catch. The lowest ranking face a televised public execution. Starmaker thanks their participants for their noble sacrifice to Project Population. Taryn’s about to sing for her life.
