Their first meeting ends up in confusion for Kane, as he learns Hawk isn’t quite as normal as he looks.
Each turn he takes the boy is gone from his view if he blinks it’s as if magic is in play, with the sudden disappearance of the stranger Kane wishes to know more about. When Kane gets up enough courage to track this silent student down he instantly meets trouble. With a strong attraction from the moment Kane sees the new student he immediately tries to find out who this guy is. Kane has a great sense of humor, but I don’t think he actually wants to come across as light hearted or slightly sarcastic. It’s his honesty that comes across differently: when he points out the weird names of the shops, his point of view of his small town, best friend and flutist father has a voice of someone who just wants to escape.Īs dull as Athens is, inwardly he wants change and he gets that when he first meets Hawk, a guy who Kane finds breathtakingly beautiful from first glance. He doesn’t have a hard time fitting in because in a dull town like Athens, everyone respects him. We have a great character in Kane, the only boy in his small town in Athens, Iowa who is openly gay. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to take part in a teenage boy’s journey, but because it’s such a well written book it wasn’t hard. The voice should be heard instantly and this is what I got when reading Distant Rumblings. For a book to be great it should grab you from the first sentence.
