A heartwarming LGBTQ+ middle grade debut from acclaimed author Phil Stamper about a boy named Jake who loves his rural town, but he doesn’t always feel supported by the people there. So he fades into the background. That is, until he comes out and his overly supportive dad puts a comically huge pride flag in their yard, suddenly turning all eyes on him. When controversy bubbles over, Jake fights his urge to hide and does the unthinkable: he fights to throw their town’s very first pride festival. Perfect for fans of Rick by Alex Gino and The Best at It by Maulik Pancholy. For Ages 8 and up.
