But when tragedy strikes, dreams turn into a twisted reality. Forced to start anew in Harlem, only a letter of acceptance from the prestigious West Egg Academy is able to pull him back into the world.   But the supposedly integrated private boys' school is more of a catchy headline than a fact, with the same prejudices Nick left behind back home. And his secret but growing feelings for the founder's wickedly charismatic son, Jay Gatsby Jr.- who dances past society's conventions with practiced ease-only add more complications.   When Nick's cutting pen exposes dangerous truths about West Egg and leads to perilous consequences, he and Jay must decide whether to spend a lifetime outrunning trouble or be the ones to light the match. Can they not only fight back but triumph? Or will the powers that be win yet again?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookmonger","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":59196709634382,"sku":"9780063312487","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/thebookmongerbearsden.co.uk\/products\/9780063312487","provider":"The Bookmonger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
