The summer before senior year, cosplay-costume-designer Cameron pretends to be a boy to fit in at her local comics shop and escape the internet trolls angered by her cosplay-contest win. Gardner expertly balances serious topics--including assumptions about gender and the consequences of dishonesty--with light, frothy romance. Intermittent pages of black-and-white comic panels depict Dungeons & Dragons campaigns.
