Camp Quiltbag
Camp Quiltbag by Nicole Melleby and A. J. Sass is a middle-grade novel about two queer kids—Abby and Kai—finding friendship, community, and courage at a summer camp designed as a safe space for LGBTQ+ youth. The story explores identity, anxiety, and allyship with warmth and humor. Parents and educators value its affirming representation and age-appropriate handling of complex feelings. It’s best for readers around grades 4–8, especially those looking for stories that reflect queer experiences or allies wanting to better understand their peers. As with many contemporary MG novels, it pairs well with guided discussions about inclusion and respect.
