June 1987, the Summer of ….Psych! Not saying it's a cruel summer but Rusty sure has a lot of questions:
- Can Shakespeare in a park be good?
- Why do fireworks have such strange names?
- How many times can you lead a tour through a cave before going insane?
- Can his uncle's strength save his lover?
- Why does he keep checking out this guy?
- Is he going to hell for doing so?
- What does his mom really want?
- Can he actually get the trombone solo for marching band?
- Is his best friend cute?
This coming of age story and story of coming out evokes nostalgia, fear, longing, and hope.
Patrick's Basement is a prequel to Kissing Practice by Jordan Meadows and part of the Pike High Book Club Series.
