OLDER FICTION
Goodman, Gabriel

The Alliance

(4) YA Surviving Southside series. In a series opener that reads like an LGBT Bluford High, out-and-proud Carmen teams up with oblivious jock Scott to start a GSA after his best friend Jamie is bullied into suicide. The issue is given formulaic packaging, but this hi-lo problem novel is a gap-filler, and Carmen and Scott's developing friendship is engagingly thorny and complex.
