Beschreibung
A haunting ghost story about navigating grief, growing up, and growing into a new gender identity

It's the summer before middle school and eleven-year-old Bug's best friend Moira has decided the two of them need to use the next few months to prepare. For Moira, this means figuring out the right clothes to wear, learning how to put on makeup, and deciding which boys are cuter in their yearbook photos than in real life. But none of this is all that appealing to Bug, who doesn't particularly want to spend more time trying to understand how to be a girl. Besides, there's something more important to worry about: A ghost is haunting Bug's eerie old house in rural Vermont…and maybe haunting Bug in particular. As Bug begins to untangle the mystery of who this ghost is and what they're trying to say, an altogether different truth comes to light-Bug is transgender.

Über den Autor
Kyle Lukoff is the author of many books for young readers. His debut middle-grade novel, Too Bright To See, received a Newbery honor, the Stonewall award, and was a National Book Award finalist. His picture book When Aidan Became A Brother also won the Stonewall. He has forthcoming books about mermaids, babies, apologies, and lots of other topics. While becoming a writer he worked as a bookseller for ten years, and then nine more years as a school librarian.
Zusammenfassung
A unique ghost story: The spirits that Bug-but no one else, really-can see work as a really wonderful analogy for his trans identity, and his burgeoning awareness of it.

Not a typical coming-out story: Before you come out to others, you must come out to yourself. This novel centers that journey and destabilizes the idea that all trans people have an innate knowledge of their identity from a very young age.

An author on the rise: Kyle Lukoff is the author of the immensely well-reviewed picture books A Storytelling of Ravens and When Aidan Became a Brother, which won a Stonewall Book Award. He is also the author of the forthcoming groundbreaking Max and Friends series.
