Camp

by L.C. Rosen Narrated by Drew Caiden

Overview

From the author of the acclaimed Jack of Hearts (and other parts) comes a sweet and sharp screwball comedy that critiques the culture of toxic masculinity within the queer community.

Sixteen-year-old Randy Kapplehoff loves spending the summer at Camp Outland, a camp for queer teens. It's where he met his best friends. It's where he takes to the stage in the big musical. And it's where he fell for Hudson Aaronson-Lim—who's only into straight-acting guys and barely knows not-at-all-straight-acting Randy even exists.

This year, however, it's going to be different. Randy has reinvented himself as 'Del'—buff, masculine, and on the market. Even if it means giving up show tunes, nail polish, and his unicorn bed sheets, he's determined to get Hudson to fall for him.

But as he and Hudson grow closer, Randy has to ask himself: How much is he willing to change for love? And is it really love anyway, if Hudson doesn't know who he truly is?

In this LGBTQA+ teen romance, narrated by Drew Caiden, teen Randy Kapplehoff returns for another summer at Camp Outland, a haven for queer teens. This summer the 16-year-old is no longer the theater-, nail polish-, and makeup-loving Randy. Instead, in hopes of catching the eye of his longtime crush, he’s become the masculine, sporty Del. Caiden gives the teenaged campers and adult counselors believable voices unique to their personalities. He excels at performing the flamboyant without sounding campy or exaggerated. His skill is particularly notable when Randy switches between his two personas. Touching on a variety of pertinent topics without being heavy-handed, this audiobook is an enjoyable production.
