[Russel is back!  This time, it's summer break and he volunteers to be a summer camp counselor with his friends Min and Gunnar - newly "out", it's his effort to be somewhere where he won't be harassed for being "the gay kid".  And, it turns out to be a summer filled with misbehaved 10-year old burn survivors, encounters with love (even if they turn out to be jerks), forest fires, poison oak, and therapeutic folktales.]

STARTED:
Walker, Karen Thompson. (2012). Age of Miracles: a novel. New York: Random House.

[Who doesn't love a good end-of-the-world book??]
