- School days : a novel / by Galassi, Jonathan,author.;
"From the renowned president of Farrar, Straus and Giroux, a coming-of-age tale of privilege and hidden sexuality at a New England boys' boarding school. Sam has spent more than half his life at the prestigious Leverett high school, which lies at the heart of an affluent Connecticut town of the same name. First as a student in the late 1960s, before coeducation, then as an English teacher after Harvard and Oxford, he developed a keen sense of loyalty to this vaunted institution that shaped his identity. But when the headmaster reveals that a former classmate of Sam's has raised allegations of long-concealed sexual abuse, Sam finds himself reliving those formative years, forced to confront the dark underside of a seemingly enviable world of wealth and intellect. Telling the story of a brilliant teacher whose mysterious behavior fascinates his students until charges against him begin to emerge, School Days deftly navigates the politics of social circles and fraught crushes. With this latest novel, critically acclaimed writer and publisher Jonathan Galassi provides a nuanced, deeply observed portrait of a particular type of American meritocracy, with all its flaws"--- Subjects: Bildungsromans.; Novels.; Boarding school students; Boarding schools; Child sexual abuse; English teachers; Gay men; Teachers; Teacher-student relationships;

"A queer coming-of-age about three teenage boys in small town Alabama who set out to get revenge on their ex-boyfriends and end up starting a student rebellion. Ezra Hayes has always felt like a background character compared to BFFs Lucas and Finley. He would do anything to be seen as a romantic lead, even if it means keeping his boyfriend, Presley, a secret. But when he discovers that Presley is a lying cheater, and his best friends are having boy problems of their own, they want revenge. Their plans to get even involve sabotaging the largest party of the year, entering a drag competition, and even having Ezra run against his ex for Winter Formal King. Then the school district starts to actively censor queer voices with their Watch What You Say initiative. Taking to TikTok to vent frustrations, Ezra begins "The Last Boyfriends Student Rebellion." Between ex-boyfriend drama and navigating viral TikTok fame, Ezra realizes this rebellion is about something more important than revenge. It's a battle cry to fight back against outdated opinions and redefine what it means to be queer in small town Alabama."--014+.- Subjects: Gay fiction.; Queer fiction.; Young adult fiction.; Novels.; TikTok (Electronic resource); TikTok (Electronic resource); Activism; High schools; Schools; Sexual minorities; Social media; Activism; High schools; LGBTQ+ people; Schools; Social media;

- Into the mist : a novel / by Cast, P. C.,author.;
"The world as we know it ends when an attack on the U.S. unleashes bombs that deliver fire and biological destruction. Along with sonic detonations and devastating earthquakes, the bombs have also brought the green mist. If breathed in, it is deadly to all men--but alters the body chemistry of many women, imbuing them with superhuman abilities. A group of high school teachers heading home from a conference experiences firsthand the strength of these new powers. Mercury Rhodes is the Warrior, possessing heightened physical powers. Stella Carver is the Seer, with a sixth sense about the future. Imani Andrews is the Watcher, with a rare connection to the earth. Karen Gay is the Priestess, demonstrating a special connection with Spirits. And Gemma Jenkins is the Healer, a sixteen-year-old student who joins the group after losing her parents. As they cross the Pacific Northwest, trying to find a safe place to ride out the apocalypse, the women soon learn they can't trust anyone, and with fresh danger around every corner, it will take all their powers to save themselves--and possibly the world. With timely commentary on power and community, Into the Mist delivers a thrilling and fantastical future that is equal parts a feminist commentary and an amazing, witty adventure filled with wine and women--as only P.C. Cast's brilliant storytelling can bring to life."--- Subjects: Science fiction.; Apocalyptic fiction.; Dystopian fiction.; Feminist fiction.; Novels.; Ability; Biological warfare; Survival;
