From the break-out author of The Gravity of Us comes a heartfelt coming-of-age story about finding your chosen people. Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli
Marty arrives in London with nothing but his oboe and some savings from his summer job, but he's excited to start his new life--where he's no longer the closeted, shy kid who slips under the radar and is free to explore his sexuality without his parents' disapproval.
From the outside, Marty's life looks like a perfect fantasy: in the span of a few weeks, he's made new friends, he's getting closer with his first ever boyfriend, and he's even traveling around Europe. But Marty knows he can't keep up the facade. He hasn't spoken to his parents since he arrived, he's tearing through his meager savings, his homesickness and anxiety are getting worse and worse, and he hasn't even come close to landing the job of his dreams. Will Marty be able to find a place that feels like home?
From acclaimed author Phil Stamper (The Gravity of Us and As Far as
You’ll Take Me) comes a poignant coming-of-age, contemporary
middle grade debut novel about finding your place, using your
voice, and the true meaning of pride. Perfect for fans of
Rick by Alex Gino and The Best at It by Maulik Pancholy. Jake is
just starting to enjoy life as his school’s first openly gay kid.
While his family and friends are accepting and supportive, the same
can’t be said about everyone in their small town of Barton
Springs, Ohio. When Jake’s dad hangs a comically large pride flag
in their front yard in an overblown show of love, the mayor begins
to receive complaints. A few people are even concerned the flag
will lead to something truly outlandish: a pride parade. Except
Jake doesn’t think that’s a ridiculous idea. Why can’t they
hold a pride festival in Barton Springs? The problem is, Jake knows
he’ll have to get approval from the town council, and the mayor
won’t be on his side. And as Jake and his friends try to find a
way to bring Pride to Barton Springs, it seems suspicious that the
mayor’s son, Brett, suddenly wants to spend time with Jake. But
someone that cute couldn’t possibly be in league with his mayoral
mother, could he? An ALA Rainbow List Pick A 2022 Goodreads Choice

From the acclaimed author of Small Town Pride, Phil Stamper, comes
a heartfelt coming-of-age middle grade novel about grief, love,
loss, and finding your way forward in the vein of Kate Allen's The
Line Tender and Jules Machias's Both Can Be True. The last few
months have been pretty tough for Eli. He moved to New York City
and left his small town in Minnesota with his extended family and
everyone he knows. He hasn't made any new friends. And his mom died
unexpectedly, shattering his whole world. He misses Mom more and
more every day, but Dad refuses to talk about her, leaving Eli
alone in his grief. Then Eli finds a stash of instructional cooking
videos his mom made, revealing her dream of being a celebrity chef.
With the help of the cute new neighbor boy, Mathias, Eli decides to
follow his mother's recipes using her videos. If he can recreate
his mom's special dishes, then maybe a part of her can stay with
him forever. But what happens when the videos run out?
_______________ "I'm so starry-eyed for this wise, romantic gem of
a book." - Becky Albertalli, bestselling author of Simon vs. the
Homo Sapiens Agenda 'A big-hearted, witty, and intensely relatable
debut about reaching for your dreams without losing what grounds
you.' - Karen M. McManus, New York Times bestselling author of One
of Us Is Lying and Two Can Keep a Secret _______________ Two teens
find love when their lives are uprooted for their parents'
involvement in a NASA mission to Mars in this smart, heart-warming
YA debut, perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera.
Cal wants to be a journalist, and he's already well underway with
almost half a million followers on his FlashFame app and an
upcoming internship at Buzzfeed. But his plans are derailed when
his pilot father is selected for a highly-publicized NASA mission
to Mars. Within days, Cal and his parents leave Brooklyn for hot
and humid Houston. With the entire nation desperate for any new
information about the astronauts, Cal finds himself thrust in the
middle of a media circus. Suddenly his life is more like a reality
TV show, with his constantly bickering parents struggling with
their roles as the "perfect American family." And then Cal meets
Leon, whose mother is another astronaut on the mission, and he
finds himself falling head over heels--and fast. They become an
oasis for each other amid the craziness of this whole experience.
As their relationship grows, so does the frenzy surrounding the
Mars mission, and when secrets are revealed about ulterior motives
of the program, Cal must find a way to get to the truth without
hurting the people who have become most important to him.
