Unwilling to face the frightening reality of his mother’s cancer, 15-year-old Brett Harrison escapes into the comic-book stories he pens while funneling his anxieties into an escalating eating disorder. When Brett's disorder becomes public knowledge, he can no longer hide from the painful truths of his real-life narrative and must find the strength to face even the most unfathomable loss bravely.​








False Face
October 20, 2026
Henry Holt and Company
Rusty is positive that Todd with two D's is a figment of his troubled mind and the only reason he breaks into musical numbers and lurks in the school bleachers so he can stare unabashedly at Burt, the cutest guy in school. When Todd's antics go a little too far, Rusty quickly finds himself in a dangerous situation. Little does Rusty know that the boy he's head over heels for just might be the one to save his life.
By day, Burt Espinoza is the only out kid in school who’s ever maintained his social status. But by night, he is a real hero: a secret agent rescuing vulnerable queer kids in danger. His handlers (also his adoptive moms) are concerned he’s pushing himself too hard to be the man he thinks he needs to be. Now Burt has to prove that he's ready for his biggest mission yet: saving the only boy he's ever hurt.
