Beschreibung:
An emotional and uplifting debut about a girl named Jack and her gender creative little brother, Birdie, searching for the place where they can be their true and best selves.After their mama dies, Jack and Birdie find themselves without a place to call home. And when Mama's two brothers each try to provide one--first sweet Uncle Carl, then gruff Uncle Patrick--the results are funny, tender, and tragic.They're also somehow . . . spectacular.With voices and characters that soar off the page, J. M. M. Nuanez's debut novel depicts an unlikely family caught in a situation none of them would have chosen, and the beautiful ways in which they finally come to understand one another.
Emotional, feel-good debut with award potential: This story features a rich cast of multi-layered and flawed characters coming together in the midst of grief.Celebrates the singular, outrageous, and spectacular: A joy-filled message of celebrating your true self permeates this tender and funny novel.True observations through writing: Like Harriet in Harriet the Spy, Jack carries an Observation Notebook around with her, noticing things that the adults don't, using writing as a cathartic tool.Filling a gap in LGBTQIA middle-grade representation: This is the only book with a gender creative main character set in the U.S., and was endorsed by the author of Raising My Rainbow and her gender creative son, CJ.
