An Ames Middle School lunch book club is centered on Young Adult lit with queer protagonists and themes.

That, according to a website for the book club on the district page.

Ms. Steph Schares hosts the weekly lunch book club, which meets for six weeks. The book club has its final meeting tomorrow (Thursday, Oct. 28).

Sixth-grade students read The 57 Bus and Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out.

Seventh-grade students read Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel, A Queer History of the United States for Young People and Cemetery Boys.

Eighth-grade students reach If I Was Your Girl, I Wish You All the Best and Queer, There and Everywhere: 23 People Who Changed the World.
