Totally Joe (The Misfits, #2)
by James Howe
Nice to read a queer teen book where the queer teen in question is already way out to himself. He may be 13, but it doesn't bother Joe that he's gay; his problems stem from other people who object to that.
The book as a whole is low on angst without avoiding anything; it has a lot of wisdom to offer queer kids, no matter how out they are. The ending leaves things wide open, which is actually nice.
