From the acclaimed author of
the young adult graphic novel Flamer comes a heartwarming story
following four gay Asians navigating love, identity, and friendship—a
celebration of queer chosen family.
When AJ moves to Seattle in the early aughts, he’s ready to reinvent
himself as a gay Asian man—but his dreams hit reality fast with no
friends, no job, and an apartment so far out, “not even lesbians live
there.” Then a spilled drink at a bar introduces him to K, a glamorous
drag queen; John, a shy gamer; and Steven, a reckless flirt. AJ’s “Boy
Luck Club” helps him find love, pride, and belonging—until a brutal
attack tests everything they know about friendship and family.
Meticulously observed and gorgeously illustrated, Gaysians is a fierce,
funny, and tender story of queer resilience and self-discovery.
“I’ve been hunting for books like this my whole life; this story broke
my heart and healed it.”—Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer

furry pals in need of a little TLC! It's the start of a new school
year, and the kids are excited about their new club, Oakville

to figure out that space travel is a lot like space ramen: It
always leaves adventurers wanting more. Includes "One Birthday in
Time," a bonus Bright Family tale outside the main plot line that's
