Gr 9 Up–Gr 9 Up–Of course,
Queer Eye’s Van Ness had to read his and Murphy’s first fabulous collaboration—who else could transform simple words like “cute” into multisyllabic declarations?! When Sully gets unceremoniously dumped from their fancy NYC internship, they’re stuck again in tiny Hearst, PA, where living as their “full Sully Self” gets exhausting. Now they’re both carless (they sold Olivia Newton-John to their mayor mother’s summer assistant, Brad) and jobless (they’ve already been replaced). They head back to Yesterday’s Today hoping they might pick up a few hours, but instead go home with a bag so potentially priceless that it could be their ticket out of town. That is, if they can exorcise Rufus, the 1950s once-upon-a-time rising star “impersonator” who calls the Butler home. Ghostly amnesia seems to have erased most of Rufus’s memories; Sully needs to figure out who, where, what, and why to earn their freedom. Deeper-voiced Jeremy Arthur (mysteriously uncredited in the recording) achingly interrupts the spirited dramas with timeless love letters.
VERDICT Van Ness gloriously elevates these pages into empowering, enlightening entertainment.
