WIN: HOW IT ALL BLEW UP by Arvin Ahmadi

Get your ticket to Arvin Ahmadi's (author of Down and Across and Girl Gone Viral) nuanced take on growing up brown, Muslim and gay in today's America with his latest story about one boy's struggle to come out to his family, and how that painful process exists right alongside his silly, sexy romp through Italy.

Eighteen-year-old Amir Azadi always knew that coming out to his Muslim family would be messy, but he wasn't expecting it to end in an airport interrogation room. Now, he's telling his side of the story to the stern-faced officer.

Amir has to explain why he ran away to Rome (boys, bullies, blackmail) and what he was doing there for a month (dates in the Sistine Chapel, friends who helped him accept who he is, and, of course, drama) ... all while his mum, dad and little sister are being interrogated in the room next door.

Out in December, we're giving you the change to win one of FIVE advance reading copies of this hilarious and poignant story! Just tell us where in the world you would run away to if you could and why?
