The Adventures of Guppie and Meep

Seventeen-year-old Danny Sanders has mastered the art of disappearing. Haunted by a father's death, a mother lost to addiction, and years of rejection, he has kept his head down and his heart guarded. His only constants are Peanut, the worn elephant that has anchored him, and the sketchbook where he hides pieces of himself. When his portfolio earns a place at the New York School of the Arts, Danny can't believe in a future that finally feels possible. But with possibility comes risk- especially when Tony, the boy who once broke his trust, re-enters his life. Together, they face the weight of family, the pull of old wounds, and the fragile hope of something more. Raw, tender, and unflinchingly honest, The Shape of a Broken Boy is a story about surviving the shadows of the past and daring to build a home in the light.
