Geography Club

The narrator, Russel Middlebrook, then finds himself helping his friend Min to form an after-school club for the students, so that they can hang out together for support.

Publishers Weekly noted that "Hartinger credibly captures high school pressure and intolerance .

Overall, this novel does a fine job of presenting many of the complex realities of gay teen life, and also what it takes to be a 'thoroughly decent' person.

The account of Russel fending off a girl who likes him and pining over a jock with a secret is beautifully written and funny.

Gunnar persuades Russel to go on a second double date with the girls, this time at a cabin outside town.

When rumors are spread by his unhappy date and her friend saying about a gay kid wanting to start a Gay/Straight Alliance,[7] and that it must be Russel because he wouldn't make out with the girl.

Brian writes in an application for a Gay-Straight club making people think he's the "gay kid".

Starring Cameron Deane Stewart, Justin Deeley, Andrew Caldwell, Allie Gonino, Meaghan Martin, Ally Maki, Nikki Blonsky, Alex Newell, Grant Harvey, Dexter Darden, Teo Olivares, Marin Hinkle, Ana Gasteyer, and Scott Bakula.
