This is a brilliant young adult novel that manages to be hilarious, cynical, heartwarming, and devastating all at once. This book gets a lot of notoriety for being possibly the first novel written for teens to address homosexuality. That’s very interesting, groundbreaking, spectacular, and all that good stuff, but this book deserves to become a classic for so much more than that minor detail.

In a strange new city, Davy copes with his mother's drinking, learning how to act towards his father's new wife, and attending a private Episcopal school where he meets Altschuler, a distant boy who is at turns friendly and moody.

Upon its initial publication in 1969, John Donovan's I'll Get There. It Better Be Worth The Trip.: 40th Anniversary Edition was hailed as being the first novel for young adults to deal with homosexuality in any form. By today's standards it is very tame, but this anniversary edition provides a glimpse at a seminal classic that has been out-of-print for years. Much as Hinton's The Outsiders launched the gritty "issues" genre, so did I'll Get There. It Better Be Worth The Trip. pave the way for later novels such as Annie on My Mind and Keeping You a Secret.

Davy is the narrator for the story's simple plot. Donovan renders the voice of a thirteen-year-old perfectly, capturing that mix of intelligence and innocence that so often eludes authors. While the story is very much formulaic, readers should remember that this book very much invented the formula to begin with (or at the very least, was one of the first to use it).

Since the book is rather short, characters are kept simple. Davy is fully fleshed out, but is naturally at a formative stage in his life and is in a state of constant confusion about who he is and where he fits into the world around him. His mother and father are the stereotypical YA parents--that is, inept, emotionally unavailable, and, at least in the case of Davy's mother, no help at all. Again, while things may have changed since the original publication, the issue of "useless parents" in YA had not been addressed yet. Altshuler is fascinating, but this is not his book, so the lack of exposure he receives is justified.

Of note is the fact that only one sentence in the entire book dates it, that being the question of whether or not Davy has a color television set. Other than that, the book is timeless and fits just as easily today as 1969. This timelessness should lend itself to those wishing to use this text in a classroom setting or recommending it as casual reading.

Finally, this 40th Anniversary Edition contains a new forward by the author's niece as well as essays by authors Martin Wilson and Brent Hartinger and Kathleen Horning.

All told, it's great to be able to have I'll Get There. It Better Be Worth The Trip. back in publication, not only because it is such an important piece in the LGBTQ canon, but also because it's just a damn good book.(less)

The first Young Adult text that addressed homosexuality. Absolutely foundational, but totally censored. The sex/physical scene occurs between chapters, is referenced obtusely by the two main characters (both male teens) afterward and never addressed directly. Still, the author gets points for trying to make this novel work in a time when publishers tamped down any clear engagement with sexual diversity in YA. Nancy Garden's Annie On My Mind was also foundational, and took steps beyond this text,...more

I first read “I’ll Get There, It Better Be Worth The Trip” in 1969, shortly after it had been published.

It looked interesting so I checked the booked out from the library, but I had no idea of the full content until I got home and started reading it.

Kudos to Ursula Nordstrom for publishing this in the first place, with its ambiguous ending and all. Kudos for the reissue. Davy is so real and funny - he's a 13 year old loner who has lived with his grandma his whole life so far, and he's obsessed with his (wonderful) dachsund, the way teenage boys get obsessed with things. But he has this sardonic little voice that chimes in sometimes. It must be the way that he keeps his loneliness at bay or in perspective. Which makes his friendship with Alt...more

I usually rate erotica. This is not gay erotica. Let's just clear that up first. Rather, this timeless novel (published in 1969!) is a sensitive and compassionate tale of a young boy's developing sexuality and the crush he develops on a school mate. When his caring Grandmother passes on, Davy is sent to live with his indifferent mother. Luckily, Davy has his faithful friend, his dachshund Fred.

There's no doubt that John Donovan's 1969 young adult novel, I'll Get There.

Published in 1969 this is the first teen novel to deal with "this queer issue," as it's narrator, Davy, would have phrased it.

I found it interesting to listen to this edition, especially with the commentary at the end. The story itself had a lot of very poignant moments for me. I was really able to empathize with Davy in a way, because of his relationship with Fred his Dachshund.

Right from the first page, I fell in love with Davy. He is a 13 year-old boy who is smart, cynical and mature beyond his age. When the book starts, he has just lost his grandmother who cared for him after his parents’ divorce. He moves in with his estranged mother in New York. She is tempestuous and somewhat unstable, clearly not fit to raise a young boy. And there is the father who seems a bit better but still very randomly relevant, I think. Well except the last episode with his son where he speaks something that’s quite forward and pioneering considering that this book was published in 1969.

This book with a very long and catch title is considered to be the first ever Young Adult Gay fiction. That must have been a real novelty back then. The writer John Donovan whether consciously or unwittingly had opened up a whole new genre, so to speak. And the book became a gay classic. To the modern day standard, there is nothing new about this book; a boy’s coming-of-age story. But I guess that’s the power of any classic. There is nothing new, but there is always something universal and timeless.

We see a boy who is terribly lonely; whose only real friend is his dog. His loneliness is something that could be understood whether your parents are divorced or not, whether your grandmother is dead or not. I mean life itself at that age, no any age, can be just horrifyingly lonely, isn’t it? His loneliness is about to be altered when he meets a boy at his new school in New York. A very confident school jock kind of a boy, he’s simply called Altschuler. Their friendship starts off somewhat rocky but as it develops something more happens. Both boys are confused and mystified. This shared fascination between them becomes trouble when Davy’s mother finds out, or rather guesses. And when Davy’s dog dies right after it, he blames himself for the death of his beloved dog.

Now, this part is of some critics and controversies. After reading this book, I must say I didn’t like it very much. It is in tradition with the early gay teen novels. The writers simply have to punish their protagonists for being gay. And despite Altschuler being so mature and saying he’s not ashamed of his actions; the whole tone at the end is not that constructive. Will the boys be okay? Will they accept themselves and be comfortable with their sexuality, with each other, with life? Even with much critic, there is still no denying how powerful the story is. I mean this book was published in 1969! A book written directly about a teen struggling with his sexuality! That’s just astounding in itself.

Even though Davy still cannot fully accept himself yet, I think he is trying his best, and I am sure he will succeed. The title suggests it strongly. He is ready to take the journey and determined to prevail to the end. And there is a hint of hope at the end of the book. Davy and Altschuler talk about their “queer business” and make a deal to respect each other. I know I know, it’s till too vague, but I definitely felt the tingling sensation of a better future for the boys and for all of us.

It was a completely different world then...Homosexuality wasn't even covered in adult literature to any degree much less in the young adult genre. And while MTV certainly has ushered our youth into a world where sex and promiscuity is the norm in real life as well as in literature I don't feel that we have come all that far where gay and lesbian issue's are concerned. One only need remember the recent movie "Brokeback Mountain" to see the gulf between acceptance and homophobia is as wide as it ever was. And I'm not talking about the movie itself...I'm talking about the behavior of those in the theatre during the intimate scenes. Sadly I witnesses a room with only a few grown men, most forced to see the movie by their wives or girlfriends, and they made sure, loudly, that everyone in line knew they were being forced. During any scenes involving intimacy these men would squirm, hide their eyes, and collectively shout "ewww"! I felt like I was in a room full of second graders! And the commentary at the back of the 40th Anniversary Edition that I read of this book claimed we had come a long way from then to now....sadly we haven't. If we had then Eric Shepherd's family would still have him in their life.

One thing I have noticed...and I am a straight white female, mother of two straight young adults who grew up with a lesbian cousin....It seems that Playboy and the aformentioned MTV has done a good job (sarcastically!) with Tila Tequila like shows of making female/female pairings more acceptable and yet male/male pairings are still a huge taboo. And while this book addressed that very subject I still think society isn't ready for full acceptance of literature, frank literature, that would cover this subject properly.

Recently I went to my daughter's Homecoming football game and I noticed three girl/girl couples that were very openly displaying their status as a lesbian couple and no one even blinked...I wonder if a boy/boy couple would have received the same acceptance. Also, I commented to my daughter how just two decades ago in the late eighties even girls were not willing to be openly gay. I graduated with a class of almost 600 and we didn't have a single gay student (?). Now thanks to the wonder that is Facebook we find that many of our classmates were gay and at least we have come far enough that they feel ok with letting their closest acquaintances know the real them.

So while the commentary at the back of the 40th Anniversary Edition claims we have come a long way I feel we still have a long way to go.

I did like this book and I felt that it dealt with the subject as candidly as it could considering the times...Honestly, I saw so many other issues that I felt needed addressing, like the mother's alcoholism and near sexual deviance in the fact that whenever she drank she became very physical with her son, hugging and kissing etc. Issues like that could fill up another 213 page book.(less)

I feel a little presumptuous rating John Donovan's ground breaking classic, the first novel for teens that openly addresses homosexuality. It's hard to really like a book that so accurately portrays the stifling social constraints and loneliness of the 1960s. Yet, it's a masterfully written work that opened doors for both the legions of questioning teens at the time, and the authors who would come to revolutionize the genre of lgbt teen fiction in years to come.

It is very important to read the novel in its historical context. Modern readers may be confronted by what seems like casual dismissal of homosexuality in the book's final pages, with talk of phases and whatnot. I think we have to remember that these characters are only thirteen, and when I was thirteen I was still in a hell of a denial phase about what I knew deep down about myself.

One of the first YA titles that deal with homosexuality. Published in 1969, the fact that an author even dared to feature homosexuality or even experimentation is daring. However, unsurprisingly, the kiss between the two male characters is brushed under the rug and neither of them broach the subject except to agree to never talk about it again.

What is hardest to believe about I’ll Get There. It Better be Worth the Trip. by John Donovan is that the book takes place in the 1960s (and was written then, too!). I mean, honestly, where was this book all my life? As a teenager, I read a few gay-themed novels, like Dream Boy by Jim Grimsley (which I adore), but this book is the starting point for realistic gay fiction and, more specifically, the realistic gay YA novel. This is simultaneously a book that represents the end of idealized youths in YA fiction and also smacks its readers in the face with the presence of a typically denied or unrecognized type of person. Danny is thirteen, he’s in love with his dog, and his best friend and only role model is his grandmother, with whom he lives. When Danny’s grandmother passes away, he and his dog must be uprooted from their small suburban lakeside home, to New York City. Danny’s mom, the reader learns, is a delusional, self-absorbed alcoholic, the likes of which is not next seen until Augusten Burroughs’s memoir, Running With Scissors, almost forty years later. The father, like Burroughs’s, is a relatively weak, non-presence. Granted, he is “accepting” of Danny’s “predicament,” but only because he believes that all boys fool about a bit when they are growing up, and Danny is sure to soon grow out of it. Whether or not Danny will grow out of it, though, is left unsettled, as is the path his budding relationship with the school jock and loner (another odd but special combination of characteristics for one high school person) will take. Do they live happily ever after? Do they end up “making out” with all the girls, as they vow to do – or, possibly, does their relationship become even deeper and more intimate as the days go by?

Quite possibly the first queer YA book, written in 1969, but it wears its age well. Despite the VAST differences in daily life for modern teens and the widespread visibility of LGBT in our culture, this book feels timeless. Drunk parents, loving your dog, and mourning your dead grandma never change. Neither does falling in love. Even though it is a product of its time, the characters are so real that you would mistake it for a contemporary novel if only Davey had a cell phone.

Very, very good. I came into it expecting a novel about teen homosexuality, but found that it was really about loneliness and the universal, deperate need to connect and the longing for love and attention. The incidents "in question" were very tastefully articulated and not at all offensive. Instead, this novel gives a lot of opportunity for thought and to talk about very important, of-the--moment, though perhaps also difficult, topics teens face daily.
