"This book will save lives." --Jarrett J. Krosoczka, author of
National Book Award Finalist Hey, Kiddo
"[Mike Curato] knows [boys] like Judy Blume knows a teenaged girl,
and that's quite a bit." --NPR "This is a story that will be read
and reread, and for some, it will be the defining book of their
adolescence." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Masterfully nuanced and stunningly told, this is visual
storytelling at its finest." --Booklist, starred review "Curato has
created a beautiful story of a teen who must decide if he will
force himself into the mold of what he thinks a "normal" boy is, or
if he can allow himself to live life on his own terms. An essential
book that shows readers that they are never alone in their
struggles." --School Library Journal, starred review "Cleverly
inked and masterfully told . . . . Both heartbreaking and joyous,
Flamer acknowledges the brutal weight of hatred, yet inspires the
courage to live." --Shelf Awareness, starred review "I wish I had
had this book fifty years ago." --The Horn Book, starred review
"Emotional and raw." --Publishers Weekly
