Burn Baby
Burn Baby, by Kevin Craig
Genre: contemporary,
young-adult
Publisher: Curiosity Quills Press
Date of Release: December 11, 2014
Description:
Seventeen-year-old
Francis Fripp’s confidence is practically non-existent since his abusive father
drenched him in accelerant and threw a match at him eight years ago. Now badly
scarred, Francis relies on his best friend Trig to protect him from the
constant bullying doled out at the hands of his nemesis, Brandon Hayley—the
unrelenting boy who gave him the dreaded nickname of Burn Baby.
The new
girl at school, Rachel Higgins, is the first to see past Francis’s
pariah-inducing scars. If Brandon’s bullying doesn’t destroy him, Francis might
experience life as a normal teenager for the first time in his life. He just
has to avoid Brandon and convince himself he’s worthy of Rachel’s attentions.
Sounds easy enough, but Francis himself has a hard time seeing past his scars.
And Brandon is getting violently frustrated, as his attempts to bully Francis
are constantly thwarted. Francis is in turmoil as he simultaneously rushes
toward his first kiss and a possible violent end.
