This graphic novel is funny, informative, and authentic! "Charlie Lamonte is thirteen years old, queer, black, and questioning what was once a firm belief in God. So naturally, she's spending a week of her summer vacation stuck at an all-white Christian youth backpacking camp. As the journey wears on and the rhetoric wears thin, she can't help but poke holes in the pious obliviousness of this storied sanctuary with little regard for people like herself . . . or her fellow camper, Sydney."

I am cisgender and in a heterosexual relationship; it would be cavalier to say that this book helped me understand a slice of the LGBTQIA+ experience, particularly given that this is one facet of Charlie's overall identity, BUT I will say that this graphic novel beautifully translates the interweaving of race, gender and orientation in a way that accesses my middle school self and my thirty year old self. This is one of those books I *wish* I could teach!
