Charlie Lamonte, a queer, Black 13-year-old, goes to an all-White Christian youth backpacking camp and finds friendship with a transgender camper in this thoughtful but gently funny graphic novel. While the book deals with challenging topics like racism, homophobia, transphobia, and aggressions both micro and macro, it also gives us a supportive friendship between two queer youth who are creating places for themselves in a world that doesn’t always make room for them.
Based on Melanie Gillman’s webcomic of the same name.
