3.5 out of 5 stars
I believe it is great
that authors publish novels about gay teens for the young adults. Although not factual, per se, they would
definitely shed light on what teens feel when discovering they are gay or
coming out in high school. Geography Club is no exception. Being written by a
gay man, I also believe a lot of the “feelings” that Russel had are probably
factual. Even though the beginning is a
little unbelievably, how quickly and easily Russel discovers other gay teens in
his high school, the rest of the story is an eye-opening, believable and sometimes
funny novel. The teens start the “Geography Club”, hoping
it sounds boring enough that it doesn’t attract other peers. The events that unfold back this book a quick
enjoyable read. This book is on the Banned Book list, which is why I read it in
the first place.
