A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year * An ALA Rainbow Book List Top 10 Title for Young Readers
Three kids who don’t belong. A room that shouldn’t exist. A year that will change everything.
Perfect for fans of Rebecca Stead and Meg Medina, this debut middle grade novel from award-winning author Mark Oshiro is a hopeful and heartfelt coming-of-age story for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t fit in.
San Francisco and Orangevale may be in the same state, but for Hector Munoz, they might as well be a million miles apart. Back home, being gay didn’t mean feeling different. At Hector’s new school, he couldn’t feel more alone.
Most days, Hector just wishes he could disappear. And he does. Right into the janitor’s closet. (Yes, he sees the irony.) But one day, when the door closes behind him, Hector discovers he’s stumbled into a room that shouldn’t be possible. A room that connects him with two new friends from different corners of the country–and opens the door to a life-changing year full of friendship, adventure, and just a little bit of magic.
Sometimes hilarious, sometimes devastating, but always full of heart, The Insiders carves out a space for us all to be our true selves. –Kwame Mbalia, New York Times bestselling author of Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky
