Excerpt from Queer Stories From Russia One afternoon, accompanied by my host, I passed through the Arch bishop's garden, with its shady nooks and venerable dark green mouldiness into the cathedral church of St. Sophia near by. Groups of beggars and pilgrims stood in the porches and lay about outside. Through the obstructed light of the interior a few worshippers moved quietly to and fro. Dim, sentinel-like frescoes of apostles and fathers; stolid-looking, brown, aged bishops, whose medita tion no incident could disturb great.

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
