Nailed by Patrick Jones

This is the newest novel from YA librarian guru Patrick Jones, so I was eager to read a novel from our librarian ranks. :-)

Bret Hendricks stands out in a crowd, and would much rather play with his band, hang with his girlfriend or act in the school play than to be a part of the "jockarchy". But what happens to the nail that stands up? It gets hammered...

I really enjoyed this story, and Jones' writing really flows through the story, which was by turns funny, sweet and horrifying. A balanced read - recommended!
