"Stonebridge High's resident bad boy, Wesley 'Big Mac' Mackenzie, is failing senior year--thanks to his unchecked anger, rowdy friends, and a tendency to ditch his homework for skateboarding. So when his mom drags him to a production of The Nutcracker, Wes isn't interested at all . . . until he sees Tristan Monroe. Wes knows he shouldn't like Tristan; after all, he's a ballet dancer . . . but when they start spending time together, Wes can't seem to get Tristan out of his head. Driven by a new sense of purpose, Wes begins to think that maybe he can change for the better. Wes realizes that being himself means taking a stand---and blowing up the bad-boy reputation he never wanted in the first place"--Provided by publisher.
