Title Information


Title:
Will on the Inside
Annotation:
When he is diagnosed with Crohn's disease, middle school soccer-player Will is both relieved and frightened--relieved to know why he has had stomach pains and low energy, but frightened and worried over having to deal with the side-effects of his new medicine and sit out on afternoon practice. While sidelined, Will makes friends with the loner kid, Griffin, who he finds out is gay and who has just asked Will's best guy friend to the spring dance. Will worries what his teammates and church will say.
