# Mike Curato: National Book Festival 2020

Award-winning author and illustrator Mike Curato draws on his own experiences in "Flamer" (Henry Holt), his debut graphic novel, telling a difficult story with humor, compassion and love. At summer camp, as Aiden Navarro navigates friendships, deals with bullies and spends time with a kindred spirit, Elias, he finds he can't stop thinking about Elias.
