For fans of Booksmart, I Kissed Shara Wheeler, and Simon and the Homo Sapiens Agenda—if they were darker, Texas-flavored, and dialed the chaos up to infinity.​​​​​​​

Wade Mader dreams of running away to California with his best friend and secret crush, Felix. Stuck in a stuffy Texas suburb with his horrible aunt, he and Felix pass the days pranking their neighbors for internet fame.

When their school's controversial Peter Pan musical, Pansgender!, gets banned and puts Wade’s LA dream at risk, he hatches a scheme to fund a new venue: scam bigoted conspiracy theorists into believing a gay Sasquatch is terrorizing their town. The hoax spirals into full-blown social chaos that his aunt and her boyfriend gleefully exploit for their podcast.

But the paranormal frenzy isn’t Wade’s only problem. Felix is falling for Roland, a homophobic classmate they targeted in a prank gone wrong. With his friendships fracturing and his schemes unraveling, Wade faces the one mess he can’t prank his way through: telling his best friend the truth.

Recommended for ages 16+
