When Donovan left his copy of The Adventurers on the kitchen counter, he didn't think his mom would read it—much less have a huge problem with it. To him, it's just a thrilling story about two characters trying to stop an evil genius. But soon, the entire town is freaking out over whether the book's main characters are gay. Donovan's mom launches a massive campaign to get the book removed from the middle school curriculum, and suddenly, Donovan is caught right in the middle of a fierce community battle. He doesn't actually know if the two boys fall in love at the end of the story or not. But he does know one thing for sure: even if they do, it shouldn't matter. No book should be banned from school. Interweaving three connected storylines, this bold and timely novel is all about finding your voice. It's a fun, empowering story about standing up to censorship, being brave, and fighting for what is right.

A girl with a special power conceals herself in the elite world of a gifted race. (Ages 13 to 17)
