Kings Of B'More
Kings Of B'More follows Harrison and Linus, two Black queer best friends, on their last day together in Baltimore before Linus moves away. A YA coming-of-age adventure, it blends friendship, identity, and the bittersweet beauty of growing up. Written for teens and young adults who crave authentic voices and heartfelt journeys, Kings Of B'More feels funny, tender, and bravely hopeful.
On this day, Harrison faces the pressures of junior year—standardized tests, college applications, the uncertainty ahead—yet Linus's presence steadies him. When devastating news lands, Harrison decides to turn their last day into something unforgettable, channeling the spirit of classic teen movies into road trips, concerts, and late-night conversations. The journey unfolds through vivid scenes that celebrate friendship, courage, and the messy, radiant work of growing up.
Set against Baltimore's vibrant neighborhoods, Kings Of B'More weathers laughter, truth, and a few tears, inviting readers into a world where love, identity, and belonging feel urgent and possible. The book balances intimate, character-driven moments with big moments of joy—from their first Pride to rooftop dance parties—and a playful plan to outsmart parental oversight adds a spark. The storytelling is cinematic and warm, with accessible language that makes complex emotions feel close and real.
