Join us to meet: 

• A Tale of Two Princes by ERIC GERON.  Edward is the Crown Prince of Canada, and leads a pretty charmed life. But he has just one tiny problem: he’s unsure how to tell his parents, his beloved country, and his adoring fans that he’s gay. Billy should be happy with the simple life. And yet this out-and-proud cowboy feels destined for something more... When the boys meet by chance in New York City, they discover that they are long-lost twins, and their lives are forever changed. Together, will these twin princes —“twinces”— be able to take on high school, coming out, and coronations? Or will this royal reunion quickly become a royal train wreck?
  
  
• Alondra by GINA FEMIA. After watching the same group of teens wrestling on the playground from her Coney Island apartment every day this summer, Alonda finally summons the courage to walk up to the group and, when she shares her impressive grasp of wrestling history, join their ragtag team as they work toward wrestling fame. All the while, Alonda struggles with increasing tension at home, and with conflicting feelings for King, the handsome leader of the group, and Lexi, the girl with the beautiful smile.
  
  
• Pedro & Daniel by FEDERICO EREBIA. Pedro and Daniel are Mexican-American brothers growing up in 1970s Ohio.
