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.
Award-winning author, artist, and Eagle Scout Mike Curato draws on his own experiences in his debut graphic novel, telling a difficult story with humour, compassion, and love.
