Khalil Jamari knows the tides, the tourists, and exactly how far he can push his brothers before Mama steps in. As the oldest of four boys growing up behind their family's struggling surf shop, Khalil spends his summers catching clean waves, working the register, and keeping Julian, Maurice, and Cedric close-even when he's usually the reason one of them needs rescuing. But money is tight, the boys are growing, and every coastal summer carries them a little closer to the day their familiar life begins to change. Countdown of the Coastal Summers is a warm, funny story about brotherhood, surfing, family, and the promises that make a place feel like home.

The Warren Family gets into all sorts of shenanigans including wedgies and other forms of torment. (This is a spin-off to the original, The Warren's Dysfunctional Family, created by @string_puppet. check them out!)

Marshall Attla isn't looking for a new family. He already has one - his dad, their dog, their land, the life they've built together in Fairbanks, Alaska. But when his dad's girlfriend packs up her three sons and flies from Hawaii to be with them, Marshall has to learn how to share a home, a room, and eventually maybe something more with people who are still strangers. It doesn't happen overnight. Nothing real ever does.

Off the coast of the Pacific Northwest, the islands of the Cascadia archipelago are connected by ferries, fog, and the kind of small-town gossip that travels faster than the tide. Welcome to Ashbrook Harbor. Clive Callahan is seventeen, pansexual, and a hopeless romantic in the most literal sense-when he falls for someone, he falls hard, and he's got the rep to prove it. Free-spirited, laid-back, and allergic to authority, he drifts through the halls of Ashbrook Harbor High in ripped jeans and a stack of bracelets, dreaming of the day he can pile his friends into a van and leave the islands behind. But for now, he's got bigger problems: a brand-new crush, a pile of older brothers with strong opinions, a younger brother who's a regular victim of the school's worst tradition, and a daily dose of getting his head shoved in a toilet by guys whose dads probably did the same thing twenty years ago. This is a story about brothers, first loves, free spirits, and finding your people in the place you grew up-even if you've always dreamed of leaving it.

Best way to get a wedgie from someone...is to make them mad

At twenty-one, Aeron Aesford bartends to pay rent, pursues stage combat choreography, and doesn't quite believe he's good enough at either. When his three younger brothers move into his tiny San Francisco apartment, he's suddenly responsible for more than just himself-and learning that sometimes the hardest fights aren't the ones on stage.

The Halbrooks live in Sundew Grove, where cranberry bogs bleed red through the wetlands and everything beautiful seems touched by rust. Cash Halbrook is used to the rhythms of his life: tattoo ink, weed smoke, late-summer heat, little brothers, and the constant pressure of a house that never stays quiet for long. But in a family where everyone survives differently, growing up starts to feel like learning the weather-unpredictable, heavy, and always close. Ghost Weather is a story about brothers, small-town violence, and the things that linger in a home long after the worst moment is over.

In 2180, humanity survives in the tunnels beneath a war-torn Italy. The surface belongs to the ARCs - hostile machines that drove civilization underground decades ago. In a settlement of ten thousand, four brothers navigate life in the deep: Dante, seventeen, with a bad temper and dreams of raiding topside like their father; Sandro, fifteen, who finds meaning in the scrap and salvage raiders bring home; Renz, fourteen, a trader who knows everyone and everything happening in the tunnels; and Enzo, thirteen, too smart and too mouthy for his own good in a world that values strength over cleverness. Their father is a raider - one of the few who ventures to the surface to scavenge what humanity needs to survive. Every time he leaves, the brothers wait, knowing he might not come back. Between raids, they're on their own: navigating school, surviving each other's cruelty, and trying to carve out something resembling a future in a world buried alive. We Who Live Below is a story about brothers, survival, and what it means to grow up when the only certainty is concrete overhead and danger on every side.

The Malloy brothers-Ronan, Hobie, Declan, and Noel-are getting ripped out of Boston and shipped to Dinosaur, Colorado. A town named after dead lizards. A place they've never seen and never wanted to see. They didn't ask for this. Nobody asked if they wanted to leave their friends, their city, their lives. The Old Man got a job, Ma packed the boxes, and that was that. Now it's two thousand miles of highway, cheap motels, and four pissed-off brothers trying not to kill each other before they reach a town that probably isn't ready for them. Don't let them normal you.
