Lost in the Never Woods is a modern retelling of Peter Pan: it's a romance, it's a mystery, it's an exploration of the trauma of grief. This is Thomas' most criticized work due to pacing, lots of exposition, and, to the disappointment of many readers, there is not a single queer character in this story.

The Sunbearer Trials is a once-in-a-decade event where ten semidioses from the age of 13-17 compete to be the winner (and be the Sunbearer) or the loser (and be sacrificed by the Sunbearer). Teo has no concern about being chosen because he's not in the highest caste... until Sol chooses Teo to compete.

Aiden Thomas is equal parts prolific and new to the YA scene. Their books do the work of being mirrors, windows, and doors, while also being so very fun. I highly recommend reading him yourself, and suggesting The Sunbearer Trials or Cemetery Boys to a reader who needs to see themself as a hero.
