The Order of the Poison Oak
The Order of the Poison Oak, Brent Hartinger. I really liked this one too. It's a bit longer and more solid over all, told from the point of view of the main character, a teenaged boy who is really sick of being known all over school as "the gay one." he and his two best friends, bisexual Min and straight-not-narrow Gunnar, decide to be camp counselors for the summer. The first session is for burn survivors. It is very neat. I love how the main character isn't anything like a saint. He makes mistakes. The whole thing is very human and likable.
