Age Level:

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. Winner of the Lambda Literary Award.

“This book will save lives.” — Jarrett J. Krosoczka, author of National Book Award Finalist Hey, Kiddo
