For the past 3 years I have been enjoying the Percy Jackson books - and got my reluctant reading son hooked on them too (i'm 45, BTW!).
The 9th book in the series was published only a few weeks ago and we find that one of the main male characters (aged 14) has a crush on an older boy.
BTW, this is so well written in to the story.
Now, this book will be widely read by 10-11-12 year olds. Are there any other POPULAR, mainstream books specifically for this age group that has any gay characters?
I don't mean where adult readers may think a character might be gay - such as Dumbledore - but their sexuality is confirmed in the story?
