Gay Club!
Simon James Green
Scholastic
A landmark comedic novel about a group of queer teens at their worst - and ultimately their best - from one of the UK's leading writers of LGBTQ+ teen fiction.
Barney’s a shoe-in for LGBTQ+ Society President at the school club’s next election. But when the vote is opened up to the whole student body, Barney’s classmates instead vote for the school’s straightestseeming boy – Danny Orlando – to lead the club! And when a national charity announces a competition for choosing their Youth Ambassadors for a year, Danny is clearly in over his head – he needs Barney’s help. The gloves are off between school clubs competing from around the country, and as the competition gets heated at a weekend conference, it soon becomes National Coming Out Day – for everyone’s secrets!
Selling Points:
- GAY CLUB! charts the journey from small-town school LGBT society to national gay glory, with drama, backstabbing, and social media outrage along the way.
- A scorching takedown of high school and Twitter politics, wrapped up in a sweet 'opposites attract' rom-com, with the ultimate message that when discrimination is rampant, we're all stronger together and united.
- Packed with Simon James Green's characteristic blend of warmhearted humour, hilarity and mayhem, with smart-talking teens, cringey awkwardness and swoony romance.
