SUMMARY:Queer Book Club - The Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas
DESCRIPTION:A trans boy determined to prove his gender to his traditional Latinx family summons a ghost who refuses to leave. \nCLICK HERE TO REGIESTER \nYadriel has summoned a ghost\, and now he can’t get rid of him. \nWhen his traditional Latinx family has problems accepting his true gender\, Yadriel becomes determined to prove himself a real brujo. With the help of his cousin and best friend Maritza\, he performs the ritual himself\, and then sets out to find the ghost of his murdered cousin and set it free. \nHowever\, the ghost he summons is actually Julian Diaz\, the school’s resident bad boy\, and Julian is not about to go quietly into death. He’s determined to find out what happened and tie off some loose ends before he leaves. Left with no choice\, Yadriel agrees to help Julian\, so that they can both get what they want. But the longer Yadriel spends with Julian\, the less he wants to let him leave. \nLonglisted for the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature!\nA New York Times Bestseller! \n“This stunning debut novel from Thomas is detailed\, heart-rending\, and immensely romantic. I was bawling by the end of it\, but not from sadness: I just felt so incredibly happy that this queer Latinx adventure will get to be read by other kids. Cemetery Boys is necessary: for trans kids\, for queer kids\, for those in the Latinx community who need to see themselves on the page. Don’t miss this book.” —Mark Oshiro\, author of Anger is a Gift and co-author of The Sun and the Star
