About this audiobook

Different for Boys Ant Stevenson has many questions, like when did he stop being a virgin? Are there degrees of virginity? And is it different for boys? Especially for boys who like boys? Ant tries to figure out the answers to his questions as he balances his relationships with three very different boys: Charlie, who is both virulently homophobic and yet close friends with Ant; Jack, whose camp behaviour makes him the target of Charlie's rage; and finally Freddie, who just wants Ant to try out for the rugby team. This Whole Demoning Thing In her monstrous Aspect, straight-laced Angela is a flameproof fire-breathing demon. At her school that’s perfectly normal – what isn’t is that most of the time she prefers her plain old human form, content to be in the background. But now Angela’s piano skills have somehow earned her a spot in the school’s coolest band, and as the end of year dance approaches it looks like she’s going to have to figure out who she really is in front of everyone.
