"A tour de force." --SLJ, starred review
From National Book Award Finalist Josh Galarza comes a moving new young adult novel full of self-discovery, forgiveness, and acceptance. Rusty is positive Todd with two D's is a figment of his troubled mind. That's the only explanation for why he breaks into musical numbers and lurks in the school bleachers to stare unabashedly at Burt, the cutest guy in school. But when Todd's antics go a little too far, Rusty quickly finds himself in a dangerous situation. Little does Rusty know, the boy he's head over heels for just might be the one to save his life. By day, Burt Espinoza is the only out kid in school who's ever maintained his social status. But by night, he is a real hero: a secret agent rescuing vulnerable queer kids in danger. His handlers (also his adoptive moms) are concerned he's pushing himself too hard to be the man he thinks he needs to be. Now Burt has to prove that he's ready for his biggest mission yet: saving the only boy he's ever hurt. Raw, surreal, and timely, this novel is perfect for fans of Rex Ogle and Randy Ribay.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Henry Holt & CompanyISBN-13:9781250424266ISBN-10:1250424267UPC:9781250424266Book Category:Young Adult FictionBook Subcategory:Romance, Family, Social ThemesBook Topic:LGBTQ+, Parents, Religion & FaithSize:8.25 x 5.38 x 1.00 inchesWeight:0.454Product ID:SCPHQFMNAR
