an official announcement of candidacy for queerness.In the “really not at all great” category?His former best friend, Emir, has decided to show up as a 17-year-old rookie, to camp where he gets along with no one and doesn’t really seem interested in rekindling his former friendship with Bastian.Now, Sebastian can either join the others in literally sidelining Emir, ignoring any past they share or, he can stand strong in his captain role, lending a hand to a very ambivalent newbie, adding to his already existing stress.He makes the stoic choice to work with Emir which has some unintended consequences, not all of them negative.For a bright and shiny, brand new debut, this book is a total home run (or, um, goooooooaaaaal).I am so used to books about queer kids being about fighting homophobia. Not that they would mind, necessarily Sebastian just feels like coming out is some sort of statement, like running for president.
College seems terrifying, as does breathing a word of his bisexuality to his parents. He also has made some pretty solid friendships which falls into the “great” category, as well.In the not-so-great category, he has no idea what to do with his life after high school soccer ends, having defined himself by his team and his sport for his whole working memory. Genre: Young Adult FictionPublisher: DuetISBN: 9781945053627320 pagesSource: Little Shop of StoriesThe summer before his senior year, goalie and team captain Sebastian Hughes, has a lot on his mind.He is one piece of a well-oiled soccer team that has officially cast out the stigma around sexuality and sports, which is great.
