Evil? by Timothy Carter

Here's a very brief blurb about Evil? from Mr. Carter's site:  Stuart didn’t think what he’d done in the shower was evil. It was his own body, and he can touch himself wherever he wants, right? The people at his church disagree, however, and Stuart suddenly finds himself an outcast and on the run from people who want to punish him for his sin. Has the entire town gone crazy? Or is something supernatural going on...?

I won a copy of this book from Nerds Heart YA (http://nerdsheartya.wordpress.com/) *my dang computer is giving me fits about posting a link* and want to thank the author for signing the inside and sending it off to me.  I'm going to check out other works of his as well.
Stuart's day starts out rough when he gets discovered by his younger brother "pleasuring himself" in the shower.  He had no idea how quickly things could get so much worse in his little Canadian town.
 
Stuart is such an awesome character.  His hobby is conjuring demons to question them regarding the realities surrounding his religious upbringing.  Not your average hobby.  One would think the townsfolk would be more concerned with the fact that Stuart is gay, than with his masturbation habit.  Throw a couple of fallen angels into the mix and this story is rockin'. 
 
I read this in one day.  Stuart made me laugh, I loved his wry sense of humor.  I would recommend especially to boys ages 14 and up.  4 big kisses!
