The Louder We Get

The Louder We Get

By Colleen Dauncey & Akiva Romer-Segal

(Formerly titled Prom Queen)

It’s graduation time and Marc Hall wants nothing more than to take his boyfriend to the prom. The only problem is the Principal and the School Board Trustees won’t allow it under any circumstances. Suddenly, Marc finds himself fighting not only for his right to choose his prom date, but also for the right to be different and have his voice heard. The media swarms and turns him into an unlikely activist for gay teens everywhere. The Supreme Court gets involved, and all eyes are on him…But will Marc have the courage to face the battle ahead? This feel-good story of a young boy who overcomes prejudice and preconceptions will leave no one indifferent.
