Summary
A Better Place is the story of two boys from two completely different worlds struggling to find themselves amongst a whirlwind of confusion. Will the strength they find in each other be enough to overcome the hatred and abuse of others? The unlikely pair struggle through friendship and heartbreaks, betrayal and hardships, to find the deepest desire of their hearts. Casper, the poorest boy in school, goes through life as the "invisible boy", and Brendan, the captain of the high school varsity football team, has it all; muscles, money, fame, and popularity. So, when Brendan takes an interest in Casper, their friendship goes in a direction that no one would have ever guessed. The two boys share nothing on the surface, but underlying each boy's reputation lies a yearning to be free, a yearning to find a better place.
Mark A. Roeder has written and published some two dozen novels in his Gay Youth Chronicles, a continuing series not only for gay youth, but readers of all ages and sexual orientations.

Gripping
It may help a little to be a gay reader to understand some of the issues and the aithor has a vivid imagination. However it was an intriguing book that I could not put down. Great!!

Some hard hitting and blood boiling parts
Would you try another book written by Mark A. Roeder or narrated by Andy Babinski?
I would after listening to this book, the narrater was ok but sounded to simular and could have differentiated more between characters
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Better Place?
There are a few parts in the book that tackle some very hard hitting subjects and these (spoilers) I clearly remember but may be a bit much for some younger readers.
Was A Better Place worth the listening time?
I enjoyed taking the journey with the characters but did feel that later Lin the book some characters where very similar I had to rewind to check who's point of view we were listening to.
