Reviews"This book will save lives." --Jarrett J. Krosoczka, author of National Book Award Finalist Hey, Kiddo "[Mike Curato] knows [boys] like Judy Blume knows a teenaged girl, and that's quite a bit." -- NPR "This is a story that will be read and reread, and for some, it will be the defining book of their adolescence." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Masterfully nuanced and stunningly told, this is visual storytelling at its finest." -- Booklist , starred review "Curato has created a beautiful story of a teen who must decide if he will force himself into the mold of what he thinks a "normal" boy is, or if he can allow himself to live life on his own terms. An essential book that shows readers that they are never alone in their struggles." -- School Library Journal , starred review "Cleverly inked and masterfully told . . . .

SynopsisNamed one of Kirkus' best books of the 21st century. Award-winning author and artist Mike Curato draws on his own experiences in Flamer , his debut graphic novel, telling a difficult story with humor, compassion, and love. "This book will save lives." --Jarrett J. Krosoczka, author of National Book Award Finalist Hey, Kiddo I know I'm not gay. Gay boys like other boys. I hate boys. They're mean, and scary, and they're always destroying something or saying something dumb or both. I hate that word. Gay. It makes me feel . . . unsafe. 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. Godwin Books

Pretty Darn Good
I'd say the author passes along some questionable camping practices and gets too carried away with self-sorrow, but overall is OK. How an individual fits in with a group and how they go about discovering their individual erotic identity is never going to be easy or easily explained.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
