With Noah’s mum performing in the lead role, and former friends waiting in the wings to sabotage his reputation, his plan to make MagePants69 fall in love with him might be a little more difficult than originally anticipated.Īnd the longer Noah waits to come clean, the more tangled his web of lies becomes. Noah has never done anything like theater―he can’t sing, he can’t dance, and he’s never willingly watched a musical―but he’ll have to go all in to have a chance at love.
Noah would do anything to make this happen―including finally leaving his gaming chair to join a community theater show that he’s only mostly sure MagePants69 is performing in. And Noah is certain that if they could just meet in person, they would be soulmates.
After years playing RPGs together, they know everything about each other, except anything that would give away their real life identities. Seventeen-year-old gaymer Noah Mitchell only has one friend left: the wonderful, funny, strictly online-only MagePants69.

The spooky stuff is undoubtedly great, but Theo, Jaime, and Taylor are unforgettable.This post contains titles published by HarperCollins. Teens feeling stuck-in various identification boxes, in the Sisyphean cycle of school days, or in the sometimes poisonous, sometimes nurturing bounds of family-will likely relate to Jaime's yearning for freedom, and this remarkable debut novel carefully explores these struggles with grace and sympathy. Miscommunications happen, feelings get hurt, and, alarmingly, blood magic goes awry, but a steady, powerful thread of forgiveness runs through it all. Jaime needs them to help him figure out how to get out of the house, particularly as a demolition date nears, but emotionally they all need each other, and this is the striking heart of this novel. The trio is complete, and it is clear that these teens have been waiting their whole lives to find connections as deep, pure, and genuine as these. An attempt to find a witch to help with Jaime's situation leads Theo to Taylor, who has been chafing under her dad's strict anti-magic rule ever since her witchy mom died. There is an electricity between them almost immediately, although Theo is not even admitting to himself yet that he likes boys, and Jaime is, understandably, mostly focused on escaping the vengeful ghost that is keeping him trapped. Jaime has been stuck inside a creepy, haunted house out in the woods for a few days when Theo stumbles upon him.
