About this author

James Erich has had a passion for young adult fiction since he was a teenager himself. In his high school and college years, he was saddened to see how few positive stories with gay protagonists there were, but is delighted to see that changing.

Lizard Music
by Daniel Pinkwater
read in April, 2013
Not quite as good, in my opinion, as Pinkwater's "Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy From Mars" Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy From Mars, Lizard Music is still one of Pinkwater's best. The author is brilliant at taking us gradually from "normal" to completely bizarr...more
