"Freak Show" by James St. James follows the story of Billy Bloom, a glamorous and flamboyant teenager who is unapologetically himself in a conservative Florida high school. After being expelled from his previous school, Billy confronts the challenges of fitting in while showcasing his unique personality and extraordinary style. As he navigates the complexities of bullying, friendship, and acceptance, he decides to run for homecoming queen to challenge the status quo. Through Billy's journey, the novel explores themes of identity, self-acceptance, and the transformative power of embracing individuality in a world that often demands conformity.
