Book Overview

by Lee Wind (Author)

"Thrilling. Positively thrilling." --Kirkus Reviews

Nicolas "Nico" Hall is sixteen when he escapes from Dr. H's religious gay reprogramming institute in California. On his own, he assumes one identity after another to avoid recapture as he flees south to Peru and then to Mexico.

Seven days older than Nico, Samuel "Sam" Jonas Solomon is a privileged Upper West Side only child who idolizes James Bond. When his heart is broken, he vows that, like Bond, he's never going to trust in love again. Then he meets Nico, and his heart won't listen to any logic.

Nico's survived by living only for himself--until his love for Sam has him risking his freedom for others. Together, Nico and Sam set out to free the other teens trapped in Dr. H's Institute, plunging readers into perils, drama, and a long-shot chance at love.

To succeed, they'll both have to be A Different Kind of Brave.

About Lee Wind

Lee Wind is not currently a spy. Mind you, he never was a spy. But he did spend fourteen years undercover (what most people call "in the closet"). So now he writes the books that would have changed his life as a Gay Jewish kid and teen. Lee is the award-winning author of nonfiction for ages eleven and up (No Way, They Were Gay? and The Gender Binary Is a Big Lie), picture books (including Like That Eleanor and Love of the Half-Eaten Peach), and YA novels (Queer as a Five-Dollar Bill and A Different Kind of Brave). To help go on the offense against book banning, Lee cocreated the national campaign We Are Stronger than Censorship, which buys and donates two books to offset every one book challenge. He also runs the popular blog I'm Here. I'm Queer. What the Hell Do I Read?--words his teenage self only dreamed of saying. Visit Lee online at leewind.org.
