When Russel finds out he's not the only gay kid at school, he joins with his cohorts to start an after-school support group, code-named the Geography Club. What gives this book distinction is Russel's pointed narration, pitch-perfect as the slightly superior, world-weary, and ironic gay boy. This is the most artful and authentic depiction of a gay teen since M. E. Kerr's I'll Love You When You're More Like Me.
