Camp

by L.C. Rosen Narrated by Drew Caiden

Overview

Set in a summer camp, this sweet and sharp screwball comedy set in a summer camp for queer teens examines the nature of toxic masculinity and self-acceptance.

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 bedsheets, 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?

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.
