À propos de cet audio
This program includes a bonus conversation with the author.
A trans boy determined to prove his gender to his traditional Latinx family summons a ghost who refuses to leave in Aiden Thomas' paranormal YA debut Cemetery Boys, described by Entertainment Weekly as "groundbreaking".
Yadriel has summoned a ghost, and now he can't get rid of him.
When his traditional Latinx family has problems accepting his true gender, Yadriel becomes determined to prove himself a real brujo. With the help of his cousin and best friend, Maritza, he performs the ritual himself and then sets out to find the ghost of his murdered cousin and set it free.
However, the ghost he summons is actually Julian Diaz, the school's resident bad boy, and Julian is not about to go quietly into death. He's determined to find out what happened and tie off some loose ends before he leaves. Left with no choice, Yadriel agrees to help Julian so they can both get what they want. But the longer Yadriel spends with Julian, the less he wants to let him leave.

A Macmillan Audio production from Swoon Reads
"The novel perfectly balances the vibrant, energetic Latinx culture while delving into heavy topics like LGBTQ+ acceptance, deportation, colonization, and racism within authoritative establishments." (TeenVogue.com)
"This stunning debut novel from Thomas is detailed, heart-rending, and immensely romantic. I was bawling by the end of it, but not from sadness: I just felt so incredibly happy that this queer Latinx adventure will get to be read by other kids. Cemetery Boys is necessary: For trans kids, for queer kids, for those in the Latinx community who need to see themselves on the page. Don’t miss this book." (Mark Oshiro, author of Anger Is a Gift)

The kind of story you can't put down!
I'm going to be thinking about this book for a long time to come. From the very first chapter, I was drawn into this world of ghosts and magic and family, both blood and found. The ties between Yadriel and his family were heartwarming, challenging, complicated. The ties between Julian and his found family made me melt. The more I read, the more I fell in love with Yadriel and Julian, with their fierce protectiveness of one another, with their willingness to do whatever it takes to keep others safe. I could not put this book down, and I cannot recommend it enough.

Just amazing!
The diversity in this book is spectacular, from the LGTBQ+ characters to the representation of Latin American cultures and religions. The book shows not only diversity but also the struggles that people face, and all that while telling an addictive story. Yadriel's life was already difficult with his community of brujex not accepting who he truly is, but summoning the wrong spirit takes it to the next level. The story, the romance, the exploration of Latin Culture and especially Dia De Los Muertos made me enjoy every minute of this book.
A 5-star book, without a doubt.

A New LGBTQ+ Story
This book was a required a reading for my university course, but it became so much more than that. Cemetery Boys moves beyond the expected coming out narrative that's apparent in a lot of LGBTQ+ YA coming of age stories. Through the use of supernatural events, the book tackles complex ideas about gender and sexuality. This story is full of love, magic, culture, and nuance; Read it! (Or listen to it in this case)

LOVED it !
Really enjoyed it! Very organic real characters amazing representation with many lgbtq characters. I would note that if you don’t speak any Spanish you might find a few lines confusing but even with my very limited Spanish I followed along just fine. The narrators voice perfectly suited the characters I Would highly recommend!

Perfection in a novel
This novel was absolutely beautiful to listen to. The story and characters hooked me from the beginning and I fell instantly in love with their journey. I learned what a realistic trans experience looks like from Yadriel. As someone who is deeply invested and engrained in the queer community, I resonated with this novel emotionally. And although I do not share the characters lineage, I appreciate how it was addressed and explained. I felt connected to the whole experience of the novel.

Beautifully Gay
Truly an amazing book. As someone who has only recently come out and had not the greatest family reception, this book was really healing in a lot of ways I didn't expect. I can't wait for a sequel and loved every minute of it.
