Cemetery Boys is necessary: for trans kids, for queer kids, for those in the Latinx community who need to see themselves on the page. I was bawling by the end of it, but not from sadness: I just felt so incredibly happy that this queer Latinx adventure will get to be read by other kids. Praise for Cemetery Boys: Longlisted for the National Book Award "The novel perfectly balances the vibrant, energetic Latinx culture while delving into heavy topics like LGBTQ+ acceptance, deportation, colonization, and racism within authoritative establishments." "This stunning debut novel from Thomas is detailed, heart-rending, and immensely romantic. But the longer Yadriel spends with Julian, the less he wants to let him leave. Left with no choice, Yadriel agrees to help Julian, so that they can both get what they want. He's determined to find out what happened and tie off some loose ends before he leaves. However, the ghost he summons is actually Julian Diaz, the school's resident bad boy, and Julian is not about to go quietly into death. With the help of his cousin and best friend Maritza, he performs the ritual himself, and then sets out to find the ghost of his murdered cousin and set it free. When his traditional Latinx family has problems accepting his true gender, Yadriel becomes determined to prove himself a real brujo.
