A bold, timely novel by David Levithan about speaking up and coming out as parents lobby to ban a beloved book from the school curriculum. When Donovan leaves his copy of The Adventurers on the kitchen counter, he doesn't expect his mom to read it, much less have a problem with it. However, the town becomes engulfed in controversy about the sexual orientation of the book's main characters, leading Donovan's mom to attempt to get the book removed from the school curriculum. Amidst the chaos, Donovan grapples with the significance of the characters' relationship and the importance of standing up for what he believes is right. Interweaving three connected storylines, Levithan delivers a story about taking action, being brave, and standing up against censorship.
