Boys Don't Knit

Summary:
After an incident regarding a crossing guard and a bottle of Martini & Rossi (and his friends), 17-year-old worrier Ben Fletcher must develop his sense of social alignment, take up a hobby, and do some community service to avoid any further probation.
He takes a knitting class (it was that or his father’s mechanic class) with the impression that it’s taught by the hot teacher all the boys like. Turns out, it’s not. Perfect.
Regardless, he sticks with it and comes to discover he’s a natural knitter, maybe even great. It also helps ease his anxiety and worrying. The only challenge now is to keep it hidden from his friends, his crush, and his soccer-obsessed father. What a tangled web Ben has weaved . . . or knitted.
Thoughts:
Embedded in pages is the physical evidence of a snapshot in time of the surrounding culture. A potential woman president, the war between gender roles-we're becoming pretty progressive. Accepting more. I'm excited for books like this with this message of permission-to find your own way. Follow wherever the "needle" points.
