The Camino Club by Kevin Craig

After getting in trouble with the law, a group of wayward teens from diverse backgrounds are given an ultimatum: serve time in juvenile detention for their crimes, or walk the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route across Spain over the summer holidays with a pair of court-appointed counselor guides. Although unlikely friends, they all try to make the best of their situation. The pilgrims grow closer on their journey, but when and if they reach the Cathedral in Santiago, will they each find what they’re looking for and come out of the walk ready to conquer the shattered worlds they left behind?

What’s Queer about it? The great Kirkus Review of the book explained that “The group is ethnically diverse and includes gay and lesbian characters” and that Kevin (the author) “doesn’t shy away from difficult topics, including gay conversion therapy and grief.”
