The key to survival is...being gay. At least it is in Book 1 of The Gay Teen's Guide to Defeating a Siren .

Fourteen-year-old Blaize Trales (yep) doesn’t want anyone in his tiny Texas town, including his parents, to know he’s gay. But when he inadvertently outs himself, his parents immediately pack him up and send him to Sanctuary Preparatory Academy, a school that promises to “heal” gay teens.

As if trying to be “healed” isn’t bad enough, and dealing with the usual high school problems—class w ...more

Recommends it for: ppl wanting queer friendship stories or gay&lesbian Hogwarts

Shelves: sff-speculative, men-with-men, teen

Wagner's book, which is apparently the first in a series, is what happens when you combine the plotbunnies of "What if one of those gay conversion therapy camps was scamming the parents and all the kids inside got to grow up in a secret supportive environment instead?" and "What if Hogwarts had queer students?" The similarities to the Harry Potter books jumped out at me right away -- the principal is an appealing, fatherly figure who's hiding things about magical bad guys from the students, the Wagner's book, which is apparently the first in a series, is what happens when you combine the plotbunnies of "What if one of those gay conversion therapy camps was scamming the parents and all the kids inside got to grow up in a secret supportive environment instead?" and "What if Hogwarts had queer students?" The similarities to the Harry Potter books jumped out at me right away -- the principal is an appealing, fatherly figure who's hiding things about magical bad guys from the students, the protagonist quickly acquires a smart, assertive female friend, and by the end of the book a paranormal Big Bad has taken precedence over stressing about tests and bullies.

There are some interesting differences, though. The Golden Trio is replaced by a Golden Quartet that isn't all white, for one thing. There's a main character death that I wasn't expecting because the HP books didn't get that dark until book four (disclaimer since I know my fellow queer girls will go there: it is not either of the MC's two lesbian besties.) The paranormal aspect of the book is also really different from Rowling's in that it posits the idea: what if some of the homophobes out there are being mind-controlled by evil magical forces? In other words, unlike the complete sequestering from the outside world that Rowling's magic users adopt, this one is related directly to it. Also, this is different from Hogwarts in that the kids aren't at a magic school--they're at a regular school, just one for queer kids that's lying to parents and saying it's a cure camp--but it still felt very Hogwartsy to me.

An interesting detail that I appreciated is that, like most other YA I've read, the main character has to deal with the "cool kid" bullies. Even when everyone at the entire school is gay like he is. As someone who was hurt quite a bit by a "cool couple" within my queer community as a teenager this really resonated. We can be kind of awful to each other even within our marginalizations. And there's a lot more to being accepted than marginalizations or lack thereof--there's that intangible, elusive quality of "cool" that often has a lot to do with not expressing your interests too enthusiastically or who knows what else.

There's a lot less romance than I've usually read in YA -- just the faintest hints (the bullies are a couple, the protagonist does get one kiss, & you can tell who the love interest is going to be as the series moves forward) -- but given the age of the kids that makes complete sense and it's also really important that we get queer YA out there that shows queer kids making friends with each other and getting to live a queer life apart of specifically romantic and/or sexual relationships.

Something else I thought was neat about the book is that, while YA in first person often has faily statements on the part of the teenage narrator -- for example, fat-shaming -- this book was the first one I'd ever seen where the instant the narrator says something faily he immediately dials it back. He knows he fucked up. Like, there's a whole paragraph of him criticizing a homophobic pastor's appearance, and then he backpedals and acknowledges he's being unfair to criticize the way he looks instead of who he is as a person. I am so grateful for that. There is so much gratuitous fat-shaming in YA, and even if it's supposed to be unreliable narrator kids don't always know that. He even follows up a comment about Nazis with admitting he doesn't know what he's talking about. (It wasn't antisemitic, but it was an inappropriate comparison--think Godwin's Law--and I was so impressed that the character swallowed his own words within the same paragraph.)

It's hard for me to know what to do with the ending emotionally because while it was a good ending, it's also like the Harry Potter books in that now I need to wait for the next book to see where this is going. The Big Bad is still out there, but the students being protected by the school are still safe from their parents and from the outside world.

Definitely worth a read if you're one of those people constantly grasping for "but where were we" in your Hogwarts fan-time, and love the idea of vast conspiracies of gay teachers protecting gay students from homophobic parents. There isn't really bi representation in this book (and if there were trans kids at the school they weren't mentioned or shown) but I didn't catch any biphobia, either. ...more

So this was a fun read. When looking at the title you'd probably assume it was full of fantasy, but to be fair for the most part this book was just about a bunch of kids living and learning at a private school.

So when Blaize accidentally comes out to his super religious parents they send him to a conversion camp, only when he gets there he realises it isn't a camp to convert, it's a camp to protect. A safe haven for gay kids who's family would want to send them away to 'fix' them.

I've never read a book in the "Gay/Lesbian" category before, and when I learned that the story was mainly about teens and preteens, I wasn't sure what to expect.

What I got was a magnificent story about teenage angst, awkwardness and friendship. Yes, the fact that most of the characters were gay was the main theme of the book, but the story wasn't really about that, specifically. It wasn't that they were homosexual, it was that they were different ... and as such, were the unjust targets of bull I've never read a book in the "Gay/Lesbian" category before, and when I learned that the story was mainly about teens and preteens, I wasn't sure what to expect.

Yes, the fact that most of the characters were gay was the main theme of the book, but the story wasn't really about that, specifically. It wasn't that they were homosexual, it was that they were different ... and as such, were the unjust targets of bullying, isolationism and prejudice, of the most horrible kind.

Cody Wagner does something in his first book that I think is a great sign of things to come - he outlines just how friggin' stupid homophobia and, in fact, ALL prejudice is, and draws a big red circle around it. But he does it in a way that incorporates the main characters' youth and innocence, and more than a little sense of whimsy. There is also just a HINT of something supernatural going on - could a mythical siren be responsible for converting otherwise normal people into homophobic jerks? - but it is barely touched upon. I think this is because Mr. Wagner wanted to use this book to set up the characters and the story without using the fantastical as a crutch to hold it up.

The characters are SO endearing, and may be kids that we all know or knew. Blaize Trales (great name!!) is skinny and gangly and aloof. His roommate Jimmy is chubby and annoying yet somehow insidiously endearing, and his other roommate Cassie is young enough to be adorable and yet still precocious enough to be the wisest (by far) of the group. The way these three, as well as an older girl named Roze, bond as friends is a joy to read.

I won't lie - the ending of the story threw me for a loop, and really tugged at my heartstrings. The very notion of being so different that your own family and friends won't accept you for who you are is a scary one, and this book throws that fear into sharp relief, without even once losing the humor and innocence that stories about kids, and for kids, should have.

Bravo, Mr. Wagner. Please hurry and finish Part Two!

Unfortunately the siren/seeker stuff doesn't really come into play until the last handful of chapters and even then we still don't actually know anything about it, just that (view spoiler)

I get that the author probably wanted to tell this story first since it involves (view spoiler) but this did NOT need to be an entire 100k word novel. I was bored by most of it and downright baffled by some of it. Also, and I guess this might be a little bit nitpicky, but this book only seems to acknowledge the existence of gay and lesbian kids, no mention of bisexuals or any of the other various lgbtq orientations. Normally I wouldn't be so focused on it but there is this weird roommate system where there are two boys and one girl in every room so that they can 'hold each other accountable' or whatever and I'm just like ...ok cool ...m-spec people exist? Also what is the implication that there are apparently twice as many gay boys as lesbian girls at this school? It was literally one throwaway paragraph but it was all I was thinking about for the rest of the book. Granted there wasn't much else to think about because the plot is nearly non existent but it was still really weird to me.

Anyway, it's possible that this series will get better with the next book because surely they HAVE to explain what is actually going on then, but I'm so annoyed with this one that I don't really want to read it at this point. I honestly can't say if middle grade readers would enjoy this more than I did. Maybe some of them would but I know I would have just been flipping through it like 'but where are the magical creatures!'. Definitely less of a fantastical element than the title would lead you to believe. ...more

4.0 of 5 stars – Light-Hearted, Gay-Friendly Twist on Conversion Therapy.

I love gay YA and supernatural tales, and this had a wonderful, whimsical, even symbolic storyline to go with it.

I was fooled (even though it was in the blurb, so not a spoiler here) by the opening premise of glbtq teens having to get healed, only to find out that the institution was a front with a pro-glbtq agenda (the first of several twists).

And what a humorous twist it was that played in multiple ways. But there was still the reality of teenagers in high school, and Cody Wagner did a good job of weaving that into the mix in a credible way. Then there was the delight of finding out about a supernatural enemy, which added nicely as a mystery to build up tension. And underlaying this was some hidden symbolism; and I may have read too much into it, but that was where the story took me at least.

Along the way I met the MC, who was a good guy with a kind heart; but sometimes, as teens a prone to be, a little self-centered and not overly perceptive of or sensitive to others. But I gave him points for how his genuine spunk and courage carried him through, including admitting to, and apologizing for, his mistakes. The cast of other characters were also nicely drawn and generally likable, with others not so much so; but again, that was a good reality. However, it fell short for me by being a bit naive. or PG. Just as one instance, there was a bit of a whitewash about what and how often teenage boys think about sex. This and other things could have been included in a pc way, and still fit realistically and logically into the plot. And the supernatural subplot was a bit simple, at least in this debut of the series. When it surfaced, I was hoping for a richer subtext, but I also realize it would have been difficult to still keep it more of an unknown mystery at this point.

Probably the biggest disappointment was that it was only part 1. I wasn’t expecting that (if it was there, I didn't pick that up in the promo). And even if it was just part 1, it still left me hanging more than some other part 1’s. It didn’t have a nice resolution even for this part of the story to leave me satisfied. Ultimately, while I wanted a final resolution at the end, I was ok with the quest continuing.

So overall, this was an enjoyable tale of glbtq high school adventure, with a humorous, as well as a supernatural twist, and some underlying meanings. ...more

But after showing up at Sanctuary Prep, a gay acceptance school disguised when parents are around as a place for students to “pray the gay away”, 15-year-old Blaize Trales must face much worse danger than a bunch of homophobes.

After accidentally coming out to his parents, Blaize is sent to Sanctuary under the guise of being “healed” of his gayness. His roommates are Jimmy, a returning students who covered up the hurt of his lack of friends through compulsive lying, and a fellow new student named Cassie whose strict parents cause her to be extra analytical. He also befriends an older new student named Roze, and the four of them become good friends, and set about their first challenge: bullying. Despite the fact that this is a school created to help students accept themselves, it does not stop groups of “cool” kids from forming, and Jimmy happens to be their primary target. Then, as the first semester draws to a close, and the bullying issue seems to be under control, a much bigger problem rears its head. Unfortunately, a much bigger problem also has Blaize’s friend in her sights, and defeating the seductive calls of the Siren will be much more dangerous than the sneers of a few jocks.

As a queer adult, this book was everything I wished I had had when I was a teen. I was lucky that, as I didn’t come out until I was older, conversion camp was never a possibility for me, but the way my family reacts to me now makes me all too aware that it might have been a possibility, had things gone differently. So, the idea that a school dedicated to “curing” gay teens could turn out to instead encourage students to accept what make them who they are, and learn to stand on their own feet in the face of adversity, is a pleasant fantasy enough. Then, when you add in the mythic elements of a Siren, and the fact that her biggest enemy is a chubby, unpopular, gay kid, it fits perfectly into the sort of books I had read to escape the pain of my own bullying at the character’s age. I loved every moment of it, and hope to find more books like it in the future. It has just enough real elements to make the characters relatable, while providing the sort of escape that the teens who will find it most relatable likely need. Some parts will make you laugh, others cry, and you will find yourself highly invested in the trials and triumphs of Blaize, Jimmy, Cassie, and Roze.

I highly recommend this to all teens, as well as anyone else who likes realistic fantasy. This is a book that should be available in every middle and high school library, so that queer and LGBT+ students can look to it for acceptance while straight students might learn to be more accepting of their peers. Despite all the progress we’ve made in the LGBT+ community, we’re still far from where we need to be to make sure that queerness is one day accepted the way that race or ability is. There are too many people out there like Zimerman’s Zealots, and they don’t have the excuse of a Siren pulling them to the cause. The suicide rate among teens is high enough without the world turning something as wonderful as love and identity against them as well. For that reason, a story like this, full of friendship and adventure and unconventional love should be much more popular than it is, and I can only hope that one day, my children or grandchildren n will live in a world where these types of stories become more commonplace in the world of literature. ...more
