Cassie Perera is a star student in St. Luke's junior class. But the new school year brings an unwelcome surprise, the return to St. Luke's of Cassie's former friend, Ben, who left a few years ago after a homophobic bullying incident Cassie knows she didn't do enough to prevent.  Still harboring guilt from her inaction, Cassie decides, in her usual, overzealous way, to team up with the neighboring public school to found an underground Gender and Sexuality Alliance, as a complicated strategy for making things up to Ben. Secretly, Cassie is also tempted by the possibility of opening up about her own sexuality for the first time.  As Cassie's new friends urge her out of her comfort zone, she unlocks a kind of joy and freedom she's never felt before, even as she struggles to balance these experiences with her typical tightrope of being the perfect daughter, student, and Catholic.

Perpetually awkward Nima Kumara-Clark is bored with her insular community of Bridgeton, in love with her straight girlfriend, and trying to move past her mother's unexpected departure. After a bewildering encounter at a local festival, Nima finds herself suddenly immersed in the drag scene on the other side of town.   Macho drag kings, magical queens, new love interests, and surprising allies propel Nima both painfully and hilariously closer to a self she never knew she could be—one that can confidently express and accept love. But she'll have to learn to accept  lost  love to get there.   From debut author Tanya Boteju comes a poignant, laugh-out-loud tale of acceptance, self-expression, and the colorful worlds that await when we're brave enough to look.]]></description><link>https://burlington.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S194C253184</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burlington.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S194C253184</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Boteju, Tanya]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burlington.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/253184194</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781534430679/MC.GIF&amp;client=bplon&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Home Has No Borders]]></title><description><![CDATA["From first crushes to first heartbreaks, complicated family dynamics to community relationships, this powerful collection of stories explores race, class, culture, language, and the very idea of home as both a place and a feeling.
