From two powerhouse authors of middle-grade LGBTQIA+ literature comes a warm hug of a novel that is supportive and inclusive. NICOLE MELLEBY (left) and A.J. SASS take a classic summer camp setting, with all the classic summer camp activities, while also celebrating a diversity of LGBTQIA+ identities in a place where these kids can feel supported, learn about themselves, make lifelong friends, and have a lot of fun along the way.
