Twelve-year-old Abigail (she/her/hers) is so excited to spend her summer at Camp Quiltbag, an inclusive retreat for queer and trans kids. She can’t wait to find a community where she can be herself — and, she hopes, admit her crush on that one hot older actress to kids who will understand.
Thirteen-year-old Kai (e/em/eir) is not as excited. E just wants to hang out with eir best friend and eir parkour team. And e definitely does not want to think about the incident that left eir arm in a sling — the incident that also made Kai’s parents determined to send em somewhere e can feel like emself.
After a bit of a rocky start at camp, Abigail and Kai make a pact: If Kai helps Abigail make new friends, Abigail will help Kai’s cabin with the all-camp competition. But as they navigate a summer full of crushes, queer identity exploration, and more, they learn what’s really important. Camp Quiltbag is a heartfelt story full of the joy that comes from being and loving yourself.
