Lockdown is over, but Aâs world feels smaller than ever. Coming out as trans didnât exactly go well, and most days, he still barely leaves his bedroom, let alone the house. But the low point of Aâs life isnât online school, missing his bar mitzvah, or the fact that his parents monitor his phone like hawksâitâs the weekly Save Our Sons and Daughters meetings his parents all but drag him to.
At SOSAD, A and his friends Sal and Yarrow sit by while their parents deadname them and wring their hands over a nonexistent âtransgender craze.â After all, sitting in suffocating silence has to be better than getting sent away for âadvanced treatment,â never to be heard from again.
When Yarrow vanishes after a particularly confrontational meeting, A discovers that SOSAD doesnât just feel soul-sucking…itâs run by an actual demon who feeds off the pain and misery of kids like him. And itâs not just SOSADâthe entire world is beset by demons dining on what seems like an endless buffet of pain and bigotry.
But how is one trans kid who hasnât even chosen a name supposed to save his friend, let alone the world? And is a world that seems hellbent on rejecting him even worth saving at all?
