"It's the summer between middle school and high school, and Aiden Navarro is away at camp. Everyone's going through changes--but for Aiden, the stakes feel higher. As he navigates friendships, deals with bullies, and spends time with Elias (a boy he can't stop thinking about), he finds himself on a path of self-discovery and acceptance."--Page [4] of cover.

Excellent graphic novel submitted by ahlalejini on July 21, 2022, 9:19am Highly recommend for high schoolers- it's a great story about identity
Great book! submitted by Xris on June 12, 2023, 2:43pm Great book! Closeted Gay Catholic boy in the scouts for summer camp, worried about starting high school and bullies. Accurate boys' locker room/game scenes. Also depicts suicidal ideation. Hopeful ending message that's worth it in the end.
good book submitted by JessicaIJ on June 20, 2023, 10:20pm i had this book on my tbr for a long time. when i finally got around to reading it i thought it wasn’t exceptional but i still really enjoyed it.
Heartfelt and Beautiful submitted by mknappe on July 8, 2023, 6:25pm A highly relatable and meaningful story paired with beautiful imagery and art
Bullying in Middle School submitted by sdunav on August 15, 2023, 12:36pm This is a dark but ultimately uplifting story about a Catholic middle school boy at Boy Scout summer camp becoming sexually aware, dealing with bullies and a difficult father, and despairing....but ultimately triumphing. There's a bit of magical realism in the end, but most of it seems very true to life for the period it is set in (mid 90's). I think it is an important story for older kids, gay or not.
