And as Jake and his friends try to find a way to bring Pride to Barton Springs, it seems suspicious that the mayor's son, Brett, suddenly wants to spend time with Jake.But someone that cute couldn't possibly be in league with his mayoral mother, could he?AN ALA RAINBOW LIST PICK!SMALL TOWN PRIDE is a 2022 Goodreads Choice Awards Finalist for Best Middle Grade and Children's Book!
