The door in Lake Mallion / by Beiko, S. M.,author.(CARDINAL)607788;
"The Door in Lake Mallion brings readers into a world of magic, monsters, and the folks who love them, telling a story of dazzling performers, glowing mushroom cities, and the power of shining our light for everyone to see. Dunstan has had big ambitions his entire life -- bigger than the small lakeside town of Knockum -- imagining himself heading a chorus line with a leading man he hasn't quite cast yet. But on his way out of town for good, a gang of his classmates capture him and send him to the bottom of nearby Lake Mallion, rumored to harbor a magical door in its depths. Before Dunstan drowns, the door opens. On the other side is the Geodom of Jet and the reptilian Prince Ven, who is on the run -- from his past, his destiny, and the stories people tell about him. Now Ven has a chance to tell a different story, and he'll use Dunstan to pen the script. But the door has been keeping a dangerous secret that not even the lakebed can contain, and both worlds hang in the balance. Will the final curtain reveal that not all lights are meant to shine?"--

We can never leave : a novel / by Edgmon, H. E.,author.(CARDINAL)887116;
"You can never go home...Every day, all across the world, inhuman creatures are waking up with no memory of who they are or where they came from-and the Caravan exists to help them. The traveling community is made up of these very creatures and their families who've acclimated to this new existence by finding refuge in each other. That is, until the morning five teenage travelers wake to find their community has disappeared overnight. Those left: a half-human who only just ran back to the Caravan with their tail between their legs, two brothers-one who can't seem to stay out of trouble and the other who's never been brave enough to get in it, a venomous girl with blood on her hands and a heart of gold, and the Caravan's newest addition, a disquieting shadow in the shape of a boy. They'll have to work together to figure out what happened the night of the disappearance, but each one of the forsaken five is white-knuckling their own secrets. And with each truth forced to light, it becomes clear this isn't really about what happened to their people-it's about what happened to them." -Ages 14-18.

"Nicolas 'Nico' Hall is sixteen when he escapes from Dr. H's religious gay reprogramming institute in California. On his own, he assumes one identity after another to avoid recapture as he flees south to Peru and then to Mexico. Seven days older than Nico, Samuel 'Sam' Jonas Solomon is a privileged Upper West Side only child who idolizes James Bond. When his heart is broken, he vows that, like Bond, he's never going to trust in love again. Then he meets Nico, and his heart won't listen to any logic. Nico's survived by living only for himself--until his love for Sam has him risking his freedom for others. And as much as Sam wants to be like 007, he discovers that James Bond is a terrible role model.

To succeed, they'll both have to be A Different Kind of Brave."--

Pride or die : a novel / by Montblanc, C. L.,author.;
"It's kind of hard to graduate high school when you're the prime suspect in an attempted murder. Seventeen-year-old Eleanora Finkel just wants to finish her senior year and get the hell out of Texas. But when her LGBTQ+ club meeting inconveniently coincides with an attack on the school's head cheerleader, she and her friends find themselves in the hot seat. In order to clear their names and ensure the survival of their club for future queer teens, they'll have to track down the real culprit themselves. Unfortunately, Eleanora is far from a professional detective; she's riddled with anxiety, annoyingly attracted to the case's cute victim, and her trusty crochet hook feels insufficient for fighting off a killer. But if her chaotic friend group can't sleuth their way out of an entire freaking murder mystery, they might just become the next targets." --Ages 13-18.

LGBTQ fiction and poetry from Appalachia / by Mann, Jeff,editor.(CARDINAL)811325; Watts, Julia,1969-editor.(CARDINAL)810611;
"This collection, the first of its kind, gathers fiction and poetry from lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer authors from Appalachia. Like much Appalachian literature, these works are pervaded with an attachment to family and the mountain landscape, yet balancing queer and Appalachian identities is an undertaking fraught with conflict. This collection confronts the problematic and complex intersections of place, family, sexuality, gender, and religion with which LGBTQ Appalachians often grapple. With works by established writers such as Dorothy Allison, Silas House, Ann Pancake, Fenton Johnson, and Nickole Brown and emerging writers such as Savannah Sipple, Rahul Mehta, Mesha Maren, and Jonathan Corcoran, this collection celebrates a literary canon comprising writers who give voice to what it means to be Appalachian and LGBTQ"--Includes bibliographical references (pages 275-280).

The rebel's guide to Pride / by Hubbard, Matthew,1987-author.(CARDINAL)888875;
"There's nothing Zeke Chapman wants more than to tarnish the perfect reputation his father is so obsessed with. He quit the baseball team, started fighting at school, and nearly flunked junior year. Newly out as gay, Zeke isn't sure where his queer identity fits in with his bad-boy persona. His father has always told him to stay quiet and not attract attention, but his friends are pushing him to be just as out and proud as they are. Most days, Zeke isn't sure how to be a "good gay" or what that even means. When his best friend, Sawyer, begs him to help the QSA plan Pride Day, he obliges--mostly to piss his dad off. But then the mayor announces an ordinance that cancels all LGBTQ+ celebrations. Angered by the injustice--and his father's support of it--Zeke decides to put his rebellious ways to good use and plans a series of underground "Pride Speakeasies". As the speakeasies grow, and the community comes together to declare him "King of Pride", Zeke finally feels like he's doing something that matters. But friendship drama, a mysterious cyber-crush, and rising tension with his rival and ex Cohen "Coco" Fisher threaten to undermine his newfound pride. When his final party ends in near-disaster, Zeke must ask himself what he's really trying to do. After all, there's a reason that the first pride was a riot."--"When the mayor of a small Alabama town starts targeting Pride events, bad boy Zeke begins hosting a series of "Pride Speakeasies""--Ages 14 and up.
