Reach for this book when your middle schooler is beginning to navigate the complicated world of first crushes, social anxiety, and the fierce loyalty of friendship. It is an ideal choice for parents who want to normalize LGBTQ+ identities in a way that feels joyful and adventurous rather than tragic or heavy. The story follows Marco and his best friend Ben as they plot a literal heist to crash a high school prom so Marco can confess his feelings to a boy he barely knows. While the plot is a hilarious, high-stakes comedy of errors, the emotional core is deeply grounded in the transition from childhood to adolescence. It explores the vulnerability of being truly seen by others and the importance of having a friend who supports your most 'impossible' dreams. It is a lighthearted yet meaningful read that celebrates bravery, self-acceptance, and the messy, embarrassing beauty of growing up.
