Small Town Pride By Phil Stamper
Feb 12, 2024 
Small Town Pride by Phil Stamper is a poignant coming-of-age, contemporary middle-grade debut novel that explores themes of finding one’s place, using one’s voice, and the true meaning of pride. In the small town of Barton Springs, Ohio, thirteen-year-old Jake is the school’s first openly gay kid. While his family and friends are accepting, not everyone in the town shares their open-mindedness.
When Jake’s dad hangs a comically large pride flag in their front yard, the mayor receives complaints. Some even fear it might lead to an outlandish event: a pride parade. But Jake doesn’t find the idea ridiculous. Why not have a pride festival in Barton Springs?
