New Boy Quotes

“She was beautiful一not a word anyone usually used to describe an eleven-year-old girl. "Cute" was more common, or "pretty". "Beautiful" dug deeper than a girl that age could normally stand up to. But Dee was beautiful.”
― Tracy Chevalier, New Boy

“The beauty of this girl standing behind him was not just physical, though. It seemed to O that she was lit from within by something most kids either did not have or hid deep inside: soul. He thought no one could ever hate her, and that was rare in this world. She was there to make things better.”
― Tracy Chevalier, New Boy

“Dee understood now that real couples didn't have to ask each other to go together: they already were together.”
― Tracy Chevalier, New Boy
