Summary
In the months following the brutal murder of Matthew Shepard, fourteen-year-old Joshua, a half Native American boy, is new in a Boy Scout troop and spending a week camping in northern Wisconsin. The weaker kids in the troop soon realize Joshua is not afraid to stand up to the troop's ruthless bullies. Joshua's bravery and kindness is infectious and the bullied scouts quickly find their own inner strength. Joshua is plagued by self-doubt as he realizes he has feelings for Cody, the son of the troop's harsh and puritanical scoutmaster. The two discover they have more in common than scouting as they share their deepest secrets and develop a close friendship. That friendship faces its greatest challenge from the homophobic bullies in the troop. As if struggling to come to terms with his sexuality while dealing with hatred and bigotry isn't enough, Joshua discovers the camp holds another dark mystery, one that will make him summon all his courage and learn for the first time what it truly means to be a brave
