Christmas Miller, from the town of Sweet Lake, New York, has just graduated high school and is looking forward to seeing her best friend, regular summer visitor Lexi. Their happy reunion is short-lived however, as they attend a heated town hall meeting on Sweet Lake's invasive algae problem where hostile, narrow-minded attitudes expressed by locals contribute to an uncomfortable misunderstanding between the friends. They go outside to talk things out and find Lemy, Christmas' gay friend, unconscious in the lake; he survives but ends up in a coma. Determined to solve the algae problem, discover what happened to Lemy, repair her relationship with Lexi, and explore a budding romance with Brooklynite Rory, Christmas has a lot going on. As the story progresses, many difficult topics are explored with sensitivity. Christmas has ADHD, and her portrayal gives readers insight into the challenges that can stem from others' lack of awareness of neurodivergence while highlighting the positives of embracing your identity. The characters are written with a comfortable familiarity that allows readers to relate to what they endure and root for their happy outcomes. Most characters are white; Lexi is described as "half Dominican" (her remaining ancestry is not named), and Lemy's husband is Chinese American. A timely mystery exploring multiple complex themes with coming-of-age elements."-- $c Provided by the author. 521 $a Ages 14-18. 650 7 $a Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder $v Juvenile fiction. $2 Sears 650 7 $a Friendship $v Juvenile fiction. $2 Sears 650 7 $a Racially mixed people $v Juvenile fiction. $2 Sears 650 7 $a Gay men $v Juvenile fiction. $2 Sears 650 7 $a Environmental engineering $v Fiction. $2 Sears 650 7 $a Young adult fiction. $2 Sears 650 7 $a Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder $v Fiction. $2 Sears 650 7 $a Friendship $v Fiction. $2 Sears 650 7 $a Racially mixed people $v Fiction. $2 Sears 650 7 $a Gay men $v Fiction. $2 Sears 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Young adult fiction. $2 local 655 7 $a Coming-of-age fiction. $2 local 655 7 $a Young adult fiction. $2 lcsh 941 $a 1 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240214011255.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D2BEBBDCCB0611EEBD4A43E53CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
