Family Week: Reading and Q&A

Let’s get Family Week started early! Join us for an exciting reading and discussion with Sarah Moon, author of the middle-grade book Family Week, and the mastermind behind Family Week 2025, Dejon Campbell (Senior Manager, Program Events)!

Live on Facebook and Youtube, we’ll discuss the magic of Family Week past and present, what’s on the agenda for Family Week 2025, and answer YOUR burning Family Week questions!

Sarah Moon loves to write books for young people—especially queer books for young people. In her regular life, she’s a teacher, so she loves doing school visits and answering questions from readers. In her spare time, she builds LEGO with her kid and thanks the heavens for her amazing wife. 

Dejon Campbell is the Senior Manager, Program Events for Family Equality. In his role, Dejon oversees the programming for Family Week and provides support for a number of other events for the organization. 

Prior to joining Family Equality, was a TV News Anchor and Reporter. Prior to that, Dejon spent years leading programming efforts that supported families both nationally and internationally. He is excited to have the opportunity to bring both his experience and passion to an organization that focuses on advancing equality for LGBTQ+ families. 

At any given day, you can find Dejon with a cup of coffee in his hand, recording a TikTok, or just trying to make someone smile with the corniest joke he can come up with. 

Four best friends spend Family Week together at an annual gathering of LGBTQ+ families in Provincetown, MA—the largest of its kind across the world—in this middle grade coming-of-age story that celebrates identity, acceptance, and found family.

For as long as they can remember, Mac, Lina, Milo and Avery have celebrated Family Week together in “the smallest, gayest town in the world”—Provincetown, Massachusetts.

But this summer, their big rented beach house feels different. Avery’s dads are splitting up, and her life feels like it’s falling apart. Milo’s flunked seventh grade, which means everyone is moving on to bigger and better things except for him. Mac’s on his way to a progressive boarding school that lets transgender kids like him play soccer, but it means leaving his twin sister, Lina, and his moms—and the safety of home—behind.

Everything is changing, and for Lina, it feels like it’s happening with or without her. Avery, Milo, and Mac know this is going to be their last summer together. But Lina can’t accept that—and if she can make this the best summer ever, maybe she’ll convince them that there will be a Family Week next year. Good things might not last in the real world, but they do in P-town…. Right?
