There was this teen fic that I read once...it was really good and reminded me of the quick paced thrillers that Alan Gibbons is famous for. Its been bugging me for days now because I can't remember the name, author or characters.
The front cover was embossed with a design where the title is repeated as a motif all over the book, with a face of a boy made from the words.
It was about a teenaged boy - whose dad was hard on him. He was in the orchestra and played the trombone; which I remember because he says in the book that it looks like a frog. He tries to impress a girl, but ends up involved in a fight at a game. His dad almost kills him but I think his teacher saves him - and he uses a pen to protect himself.
