After everyone at school realizes that their “geography club” is really a Gay Straight Alliance, Russel, Gunnar, and Min need to get away. They all decide to serve as counselors at a camp for burn victim survivors. Russel quickly learns that he might have bitten off more than he can chew, and the mixed messages he receives from fellow counselor Otto don’t help matters.
Publisher’s Description:
Summer camp is different from high school. Something about spending the night. Things happen.
