HARDCOVER
Author: Robbie Couch
Funny, heartfelt, and bursting with hope, THE SKY BLUE is a charming queer YA contemporary perfect for fans of What If It’s Us? and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.
Sky Baker is openly gay, but in his tiny Michigan town, being unseen has always felt safer than being himself. Until now. With prom just a month away, Sky is determined to make a splash: he’s going to pull off the “gayest promposal ever” for his crush, Ali, at the school’s big beach party. He has thirty days, one plan, and a tiny spark of courage.
But everything explodes when an anonymous hacker leaks Sky’s promposal plans in a hateful, homophobic e-blast that goes viral. Sky is ready to disappear - literally - until his friends and classmates rally around him. Soon, the entire school turns the promposal countdown into a mission to uncover who sent the e-blast… and to help Sky stand proud.
Warm, witty, and wonderfully affirming, The Sky Blues is a story about friendship, first love, small-town struggles, and finding the bravery to stop hiding and start living out loud.

- A hopeful queer coming-of-age story with tons of heart
