Brent Hartinger recommends
A Different Kind of Brave (2024)
Lee Wind
"Lee Wind is a longtime booster of gay YA, and boy, has he learned a lot. A Different Kind of Brave is bold, breezy and fun."
The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley (2015)
Shaun David Hutchinson
"A wonderfully written book that is more proof that the genre of 'LGBT YA lit' simply knows no bounds."
Hushed (2011)
Kelley York
"How execting that we live in a time when gay teen protagonists can be just as screwed up as straight ones-and their stories as creepy!"
