Don't Be A Drag
Skye Quinlan Publisher: Page Street YA / Page Street Publishing Pub Date: May 28th, 2024 Genre: YA Contemporary Synopsis: Two rival drag kings competing for a crown might just win each other’s hearts. When eighteen-year-old Briar Vincent’s mental health takes a turn for the worst, her parents send her to spend the summer in New York City with her older brother, Beau, also known as the drag queen Bow Regard. Backstage at the gay bar where Beau performs, Briar just wants to be a fly on the wall, but she can’t stand by when the cute but conceited drag king Spencer Read tries to put down another up-and-coming performer. To prove to him that even a brand-new performer could knock him off his pedestal, Briar signs up for the annual drag king competition. There’s just one flaw in her plan: Briar has never done drag before. With the help of her brother and a few new friends, Briar becomes Edgar Allan Foe, a drag king hellbent on taking Spencer down. But unless she can learn how to shake her anxiety and perform, she doesn’t stand a chance of winning Drag King of the Year, overcoming her depression and inner demons, or avoiding falling for her enemy, who might not be so bad after all. Content Warning: Anxiety and panic attacks, depression, suicidal thoughts and ideation, body dysmorphia, cancer (past, off-page), death due to AIDS (past, off-page), homophobia (past, off-page), intrusive thoughts, mention of queer characters’ deaths (past, off-page), suicide (past, off page), transphobia and vomiting

Now, Conjurers
Freddie Kölsch Publisher: Union Square & Co. Pub Date: June 4th, 2024 Genre: YA Horror Synopsis: November 1999. North Dana, Massachusetts. Nesbit Nuñez discovers the partially devoured body of Bastion Attia: star quarterback, secret witch, and Nesbit’s even-more-secret boyfriend. No one knew why brilliant, gentle Bastion lived his life by a seemingly arcane set of rules, including a strange manner of speech and an inability to say his own name. Now the remaining members of North Coven—Nesbit, Dove, Drea, and Brandy—vow to get answers. Nothing can prepare them for what they uncover: Bastion had been locked in a terrifying battle of wits and wills with something living deep beneath an ancient mausoleum in the local cemetery. North Coven must confront the red-gloved monster that took piece after piece of Bastion, that he fought until his last breath. Not knowing that Bastion left behind the key to its destruction . . . Now, Conjurers is a wildly original, spine-chilling YA debut about queer found family and a love that outlasts death. Content Warning: death, gore, child abuse, homophobia
