Queer

In his most provocative novel yet, David Gearing throws light onto a generation that's sick of your $H!&. Elliot Slater is a self-professed nerd who, despite being black and gay, blends in anywhere. It seems no one knows his name. Not even his teachers.Then he meets the mysterious Hadrian. Hadrian, who goes by they/them pronouns, defies every rule that high school has to offer, and shows Elliot that there is a different way to exist in high school. But when a violent outburst threatens to get Hadrian expelled, Elliot decides to run for student body treasurer, because whoever has the money has the power. There's just one thing he didn't predict: Hadrian has some plans of their own. Mayhem ensues when Hadrian's philosophy spreads to a high school of students who demand to stand out, demand to make noise, and demand to be heard at any cost.If Fight Club had an angsty teenager with The Wave, this novel would certainly be it.
