Beschreibung
In this unabashedly queer middle grade debut, a week-long amusement park road trip becomes a true roller coaster of emotion when Dalia realizes she has more-than-friend feelings for her new bestie.

"Dalia's journey to self-discovery is refreshingly honest, and this entire cast of characters will steal your heart." - Maulik Pancholy, actor and Stonewall Honor-winning author of The Best At It

Would-be amusement park aficionado Dalia only has two items on her summer bucket list: (1) finally ride a roller coaster and (2) figure out how to make a new best friend. But when her dad suddenly announces that he's engaged, Dalia's schemes come to a screeching halt. With Dalia's future stepsister Alexa heading back to college soon, the grown-ups want the girls to spend the last weeks of summer bonding-meaning Alexa has to cancel the amusement park road trip she's been planning for months. Luckily Dalia comes up with a new plan: If she joins Alexa on her trip and brings Rani, the new girl from her swim team, along maybe she can have the perfect summer after all. But what starts out as a week of funnel cakes and Lazy River rides goes off the rails when Dalia discovers that Alexa's girlfriend is joining the trip. And keeping Alexa's secret makes Dalia realize one of her own: She might have more-than-friend feelings for Rani.

Zusammenfassung
All the (queer) feels: This first crush story takes readers on a wild roller coaster of emotions, from the heady high of knees grazing in the back seat of the car to the dizzying spiral of realizing your crush might like you back. Anyone who has ever been in love (or like) will recognize these feelings, but queer readers will feel especially seen.

For fans of Ashley Herring Blake and Kelly Yang: This memorably voiced, heartfelt debut captures the agonizing growing pains of fracturing friendships, unfamiliar family dynamics, and first crushes.

On the road: Almost Flying takes readers on a tour of some of the biggest and best amusement parks in the United States. This road trip is pure wish fulfillment.
