I cannot praise this book enough. Callender offers an emotionally complex story that is perfect for younger readers. They tackle family struggles, ostracization, sexuality, and loneliness with such natural ease. The writing is exquisite in its imagery and simple detail, and the characters are all unique and clearly defined. This book was an absolute pleasure to read, and I’d recommend it to readers of any age. I can’t wait to hear what Callender has to say at the event tonight!
