About this book
<b>"Infused with all the joy of the best teen movies, <i>Kings of B'more</i> is sure to be a big hit." —BuzzFeed<br><br>Two Black queer best friends face their last day together with an epic journey through Baltimore in this magnetic YA debut by bestselling author of <i>Here for It</i>, R. Eric Thomas.</b><br><br><b>A 2023 Stonewall Honor Book for Young Adult Literature</b><br><br>With junior year starting in the fall, Harrison feels like he’s on the precipice of, well, everything. Standardized testing, college, and the terrifying unknowns and looming pressures of adulthood after that—it’s like the future wants to eat him alive. Which is why Harrison is grateful that he and his best friend, Linus, will face these things together. But at the end of a shift at their summer job, Linus invites Harrison to their special spot overlooking the city to deliver devastating news: He’s moving out of state at the end of the week.<br><br>To keep from completely losing it—and partially inspired by a cheesy movie-night pick by his dad—Harrison plans a send-off à la <i>Ferris Bueller’s Day Off</i> that's worthy of his favorite person. If they won’t be having all the life-expanding experiences they thought they would, Harrison will squeeze them all into their last day together. They end up on a mini road trip, their first Pride, and a rooftop dance party, all while keeping their respective parents, who track them on a family location app, off their trail. Harrison and Linus make a pact to do all the things—big and small—they’ve been too scared to do. But nothing feels scarier than saying goodbye to someone you love.
