Book Reviews of The Sixth Form

Book Review: A coming-of-age gem
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a coming-of-age story about one gay teen and one straight teen. This book is set at an East Coast prep school. The gay teen, Todd, is battling an internal conflict, coming to the realization that he is indeed gay and trying to understand and cope with that. The straight teen, Ethan, has something much more external to cope with--a 36-year-old female teacher whose interest in him is much more than educational. She leads Ethan to inner turmoil that no 18-year-old should have to deal with. This is a fantastic story with well-developed characters that unfolds in a well-paced fashion. A great read, which I heartily recommend.

Summary of The Sixth Form

From Tom Dolby, the acclaimed author of The Trouble Boy, comes an extraordinary new novel a sensitive coming of age tale and a compelling work of suspense that explores the price of innocence betrayed and the complexities of personal truth.

When seventeen-year-old Ethan Whitley leaves his home in California for Berkley Academy, a prestigious Massachusetts prep school, he's a blank slate, a shy follower of rules in search of himself. Ethan is given the chance to start over when he is hand-picked by his wealthy, disaffected classmate, Todd Eldon, and a seductive, enigmatic teacher, Hannah McClellan, a free spirit for whom rules were meant to be broken.

Life with Todd and Hannah is a revelation, an invitation to a world of privilege and desire trips to a glittering, gritty New York City with its Fifth Avenue penthouses and artists' lofts; clandestine encounters in the graveyard near Berkley's wooded campus; and private meetings at Hannah's secluded house where they can drink wine and read Rimbaud, testing their limits and temptation in equal measure. Looming over these heady evenings is the disturbing mystery of Hannah's fragmented past, one that Ethan longs desperately to understand.
As secrets are revealed, Ethan is pulled deep into the undertow of Hannah's history and Todd's longings. He learns that every deceit has a price, every lie an ugly truth, and that those he has come to trust are people he doesn't know at all. The most dangerous stories of all, though, may be the ones he has told himself.
