A World Worth Saving

Bol

Now available in paperback, a groundbreaking, action-packed, and ultimately uplifting adventure that intertwines elements of Jewish mythology with an unflinching examination of the impacts of transphobia. Covid lockdown is over, but A’s world feels smaller than ever. Coming out as trans didn’t exactly go well, and most days, he barely leaves his bedroom, let alone the house. But the low point of A’s life isn’t online school, missing his bar mitzvah, or the fact that his parents monitor his phone like hawks - it’s the weekly Save Our Sons and Daughters meetings his parents all but drag him to. At SOSAD, A and his friends Sal and Yarrow sit by while their parents deadname them and wring their hands over a non-existent “transgender craze.” After all, sitting in suffocating silence has to be better than getting sent away for “advanced treatment,” never to be heard from again. When Yarrow vanishes after a particularly confrontational meeting, A discovers that SOSAD doesn’t just feel soul sucking…it’s run by an actual demon who feeds off the pain and misery of kids like him. And it’s not just SOSAD - the entire world is beset by demons dining on what seems like an endless buffet of pain and bigotry. But how is one trans kid who hasn’t even chosen a name supposed to save his friend, let alone the world? And is a world that seems hellbent on rejecting him even worth saving at all?
