Waterbuggg: Both books feature a small group of young adults trying to solve a mystery. They both have funny parts but also deal with serious issues surrounding identity and have a bit of violence.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for gay YA sometimes. Good balance of humour and characterization. Gay boys romping across Europe in the 18th century, gotta love it. ( )

He saunter’d Europe round,
And gather’d ev’ry vice on Christian ground; . . .

Intrigued with glory, and with spirit whored;
Tried all hors-d’œuvres, all liqueurs defined,
Judicious drank, and greatly daring dined.
—Alexander Pope, The Dunciad
Let me put it like this. In this place, whoever looks seriously about him and has eyes to see is bound to become a stronger character. —Goethe, Italian Journey
