Broken Image

By Jacob West

Jake West, a skinny teenager whose favorite subjects are choir and art, is struggling to find his place in the world. Always in the shadow of his athletic older brother and befriended by girls who enjoy his company but don't see him as dating material, Jake begins making comparisons and questioning who he is. As if surviving junior high isn't hard enough, Jake's family is suddenly transferred from sunny California to the cold, windy shores of Sheboygan, Wisconsin. ***** "So, California, huh?" I nodded. My mouth was full of food and I didn't know what else I could say to that. "I'm Eric Brems." I swallowed my food. "Hi Eric. I'm Jake West." "Yeah, I know...and so does everybody else in this school." I looked around. There were a few eyes pointing our way. "Everybody?" "Yeah, they all know about the kid who moved here from California." "Really?" I asked not fully comprehending what he was telling me. "Yeah, haven't you noticed everyone watching you as you walk down the hall?" ***** In a new high school where nobody knows him, will Jake stay true to himself or will he abandon his talents and values in order to fit in?
