Story of a black queer middle schooler on a christian-feminist(?) hiking trip with a bunch of white (or white-passing) kids & counselors. Narratively has the feel of a short story or novella. Probably would have been good for me to read at whatever age level it is. Reinforces my feeling that for me as a kid, a group trip (such as scouts, church, school, etc) with a bunch of other kids my age would have been terrifying for me (and I don’t even have any sort of “otherness” placed on me!).
