.LacyMB runs down the must-read YA books hitting shelves in October, including titles from joanhewrites, ELWaters, AdamSilvera, amandabglaze, and more.
: Author James Brandon is making a name for himself in the YA genre space not just for telling LGBTQ stories, but using his books to provide much-needed history and context for the queer experience in America. His latest novel,, tells the story of the Compton Cafeteria Riot, which took place in August 1966 in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood and is considered the first full-scale riot for trans and queer people in U.S. history.
When the first clue points him to San Francisco, he sets off with his boyfriend to find the answers, and the person he’s been waiting his whole life for. But when his vintage station wagon breaks down they are forced to rely on an unusual girl who goes by Max—and has her own familial pain—to take them the rest of the way.
As his family history is revealed, Isaac finds himself drawing closer to Max. Using notes his dad had written decades ago, the two of them retrace his father’s steps during the weeks leading up to the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot in San Francisco, a precursor to the Stonewall Riots a few years later. Only to discover, as he learns about the past that perhaps the missing pieces of his life weren’t ever missing at all.
