Praise for Paul Coccia's previous books:

Cub (Orca Soundings):
"Short paragraphs and straightforward dialogue make this ideal for reluctant readers. A gay protagonist and a drag queen will resonate with an LGBTQ+ audience…The tough truth of marginalized communities attacking their own is difficult to face but accurate in its exposure of toxic behavior; Theo's shaky navigation is inspiring."
– Kirkus Reviews
"Cub allows Theo to fully develop as a young gay man…An encouraging and necessary story, Cub is a book that will start important conversations among younger readers, librarians, and educators."
– CM Reviews
"Fiction for teens that deals with the LGBT experience is in short supply, and this one tackles the important concepts of consent and age appropriateness."
– Resource Links
“Sure to delight young and reluctant readers…especially LGBTQ audiences.”
– Must Read Literature: K thru 12

On the Line (co-written with Eric Walters):

“Beautifully and realistically rendered…Shines a light on the restorative power of best friends and caring family…Both straight and LGBTQ+ readers will love a work created by two outstanding writers who, as it turns out, are greater than the sum of their storytelling parts. Highly Recommended.”
– CM Reviews
“A relationship-driven story.”
– Kirkus Reviews
“A story that challenges young readers to see beyond themselves and from different perspectives and with compassion for the struggles that others may be experiencing.”
– CanLit for LittleCanadians
“An emotional, thought-provoking journey exploring identity, with a basketball backdrop.”
