The Firebrat (2003) -- finalist 2003 Violet Quill Award
In this introspective work we watch brilliant, outspoken
Elliott try to come to terms with his rapidly changing life. It is time for
Elliott to grow up, in spite of his all-out effort to have the world "his
way". He must find a way to integrate into his life: the disappointment of
his love interest's outrage when Elliott writes a short story about him that
not only outs him, but paints him as self-absorbed; the slow, agonizing (and
irritating) death of his best (and only) friend; the inescapable truth that
his literary hero is not all Elliott has made him out to be; and the
alarming outcome of his infatuation with flying. Elliott is running out of
charm and his denial is being quickly obliterated. All that's left is his
spoiled, petulant, witty, intelligent, and highly amusing persona. But will
that be enough to save him? Perhaps, perhaps not, but it is definitely
enough to keep a reader turning pages far into the night.
