Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling paralyzed by the 'what comes next' of adulthood or struggling with the fear that their true self won't be accepted by the world. Drag Teen follows JT, a high school senior who feels trapped in a cycle of insecurity and small-town limitations. When he decides to enter a drag queen contest in New York City, he embarks on a journey that is as much about emotional resilience as it is about sequins and heels. This story explores the nuances of LGBTQ+ identity, the importance of supportive friendships, and the terrifying but necessary leap of faith required to chase a dream. It is a secular, modern, and deeply humorous look at self-discovery for older teens who are navigating the transition from childhood to independence.
