    Important story
  

*by T***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2023*

This is an important story about what it might be like to be a gender fluid kid. My 5th grader loved this one!

    Opened my heart and mind!
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2021*

This book is perhaps written for Middle Grade kids but adults will enjoy it as well! Jules Machias does a splendid job addressing gender fluidity, friendship, overwhelming emotions, feelings of being alone and a number of other issues that come at this age. The story provides hope in helping a person at this age in understanding that they are not alone.My heart was so connected to the characters, this had me intrigued! And the story helped me as an adult to understand at a much deeper level the heart of a person navigating through this complexity.What can we do to get this book into more hands, adult as well as youth? Thank you Jules Machias. Your book expanded my heart and mind!

    Sweet and wholesome queer middle grade book with a great message
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2022*

13 year old middle schoolers Ash and Daniel team up to save a dog’s life, while dealing with family, friends, and schoolmates who have issues with Ash and Daniel’s behavior being inconsistent with gender stereotypes and expectations. Ash is exploring their gender identity and expression, while Daniel, who is sensitive and cries a lot, continually gets grief from family and friends for being “overemotional.”I thought this was a very sweet story and I adored Ash and Daniel. It’s told in dual POV, first person and I loved hearing what was going on in both kids’ minds. I mostly really loved this book and it has a positive message about gender, rejecting gender stereotypes, and the importance of trying to see things from other people’s perspectives. There’s a bit of a romance between the kids, but the story focuses mostly on friendship. I liked how the parents were portrayed: I related a lot to Ash’s mom and was so relieved Ash had at least one understanding parent since their dad was so misguided. Even though this book may not be perfect, I think this kind of representation is so important for kids, even if they don’t know how lucky they are to have it! That being said, there are a couple things I think the book could have brought up but didn’t. The book has a very anti-label message, and while it’s totally understandable that some people might want to reject labels, I think there could have just been a sentence or two thrown in about how labels are really important to some people. Knowing that there’s a word that describes your experience and that other people may experience the same feelings can be very empowering and healing. The other thing I thought could have been mentioned was the possibility of Daniel having a mental health issue like anxiety. As the mother of a sensitive child with anxiety I recognized Daniel’s snowballing emotions. I think maybe having him start going to therapy or at least getting a diagnosis could have given the book a whole other level of representation. I don’t think either of these issues would be any reason not to read the book, just maybe have a conversation with your child about these issues and any other thoughts or feelings you had about the story. Honestly I think it would be amazing if a parent and child both read the book and talked about it together.I originally checked this book out from Libby for my daughter who is starting middle school this year–and she thought it sounded boring (she’s more into books like Wings of Fire), so I decided to read it myself. She takes all this for granted and just does not care that us queer Gen-Xers really would have loved having representation like this! She might be more interested in the story in a couple years, I will keep it in mind for her.I listened to the audiobook and thought narrators MW Cartozian Wilson and Kirby Heyborne did a great job with the kids’ voices, especially Heyborne as Daniel. His delivery while sounding like he was about to cry, trying not to cry, or actually crying was perfect. (I’m just a sucker for male characters who cry a lot. The vulnerability just gets to me!) While I do like the gender-neutral sound of Wilson’s voice, their delivery sounds a bit stilted, like they are reading instead of performing.Rep: Questioning/possibly genderfluid MC, queer questioning male MC (possibly with anxiety or other mental health issue), trans and nonbinary side characters, various queer side characters, Black and Filipino/American side charactersCW: Transphobic bullying/assualt (past), transphobia, deadnaming/misgendering, threatened outing, misogyny, divorce, mentions of pet euthanasia
