Pritty (2023)
Keith F Miller Jr
"Triumphant and deeply moving, Pritty is a life-affirming love letter to Black and brown queer boys that offers them hope and purpose. Hands down the best book I've read in a while."

Dark Room Etiquette (2022)
Robin Roe
"Raw, dark, and equal parts funny and poignant, Dark Room Etiquette is about a broken boy fighting against a very broken world. It's a book that is a reminder that even though life may take and take and take, there can be hope on the other side! An impressive and soul-stirring read."

The Undead Truth of Us (2022)
Britney S Lewis
"Britney Lewis has really nailed it with this one. I loved this striking, suspenseful, and deeply heartbreaking debut about a Black girl named Zharie on a quest to discover the truth about her mother and the darker parts of life and family! Spooky good."
