Story
Henley sits on the sideline of life. What else is a fat kid to do? He's determined to make a change as he enters high school and summons the courage to take a chance only to have super-jock Axel O'Connell go off on him for being a pathetic slug. Henley nearly calls it quits, but pushes forward, and then something amazing happens; Axel does an abrupt about-face and offers to help Henley lose weight and get in shape. Henley is suspicious of Axel's motives, but so desperately needs help he takes him up on his offer.

Publisher's Summary
I walk in darkness, but there is light in the darkness - a light only I can see.
Caden helped Jonas through the rough times, the lonely times, and the times Jonas needed someone to love and someone to love him back. The only problem was that Caden was imaginary - at least until Jonas spotted him in the cafeteria of Verona High School.
When Jonas recovers from his shock, he is determined to meet the boy who was once nothing but a fantasy but is obviously quite real. Soon Jonas learns something about Caden, something disturbing, something that changes everything. Does Jonas have the courage to reach out and brave the unknown, or will he risk losing what might be his only chance at happiness?
Light in the Darkness is a story of longing, fear, acceptance, and love.
