King and the Dragonflies

English

By (author): Kacen Callender

  Winner of the 2020 National Book Awards for Young Peoples Literature. In a small but turbulent Louisiana town, King lost his older brother. To move on, he must find himself. King is convinced his brother isnt dead, that he has instead turned into a dragonfly, and he searches for Khalid down by the bayou. Khalid visits him in turn, in Kings dreams. King must keep these secrets to himself as he watches grief transform his family. It would be easier if King could talk with his best friend, Sandy. But King had ended their friendship. Before his death, his brother had said, You dont want anyone to think youre gay too, do you? But when Sandy goes missing, sparking a town-wide search, King finds his former best friend and the two begin an adventure as they hide Sandy down by the bayou, among the dragonflies. As Kings friendship with Sandy is reignited, hes forced to confront questions about himself and the reality of his brothers death. In this raw and exquisite story, we see that love can set us all free. The Thing About Jellyfish meets The Stars Beneath Our Feet in this story about loss, grief, and finding the courage to discover one's identity, from the author of Hurricane Child and bestselling Felix Ever After. This quiet novel movingly addresses toxic masculinity, homophobia in the black communityespecially related to menfear, and memory. Elegiac and hopeful Kirkus Reviews See more
