In Justin Sayre’s debut novel HUSKY, Davis is a teen who’s in the final days of his last summer before high school, and worries about what he'll be perceived as (if he'll be known as “husky”), as well as whether the friendships he’s had since he was young will hold strong as they grow up. Davis loves opera, his mom, and by the end of the novel, you’ll love Davis. He feels like a genuine kid you’d want to be friends with, and protect at all costs. The humor in HUSKY stems from Davis’ one-hundred-percent authentic voice, which makes you feel like you’re being told a story by a close friend, rather than reading a novel. If you’re looking for a sweet, coming-of-age story, and a protagonist that you’ll want to root for the entire time, HUSKY is right up your alley.
