Diary of a Teenage Taxidermist

TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL. —



Ethan. Teenage taxidermist. Outsider. Can’t wait to be done with high school.

Ethan is a levelheaded, some might say ‘antisocial’, young artist-entrepreneur with a love for quirky taxidermy. He is close to graduating high school and at a crossroads. All he wants is to develop his business further, yet all his parents want is for him to go to law school. That is more than enough problems for Ethan, so any kind of love life is off his agenda. That is until Robert Hunter, the quarterback of the football team, comes crashing into him. Literally.

Robert. The quarterback. In the closet. More than ready to move on to college.

Robert drifts along in high school. He has good grades, he’s getting ready for med school, he’s even leaving potentially problematic dating until college. He’s gay, not ashamed of it, but he doesn’t want to stir up any trouble. His carefully laid plans might just go completely off the rails though, when he drinks too much at a party and causes irreversible damage to Ethan, the school’s weirdo.

Robert has to face the fact that maybe he isn’t the good guy he always considered himself to be. And maybe he doesn’t want to go to med school. And maybe, just maybe, he doesn’t actually want to wait with dating until college.

What reviewers say:


"This is a story of two young men who set out to follow their dreams, only to learn that sometimes adapting to new facts is what they need to do as they grow up. It is also a love story of the unusual kind, and one with deep moral and morality issues that sort of sneaked up on me as I read." - Serena Yates (Rainbow Book Reviews)

"Diary of a Teenage Taxidermist had the perfect mix of teenage angst, sexiness, sweet YA and quirkiness. It's my favorite K.A. Merikan I've read so far." - Breann, Boy Meets Boy Reviews
