I am excited to be living in an age where books like this exist. I cannot wait to have a whole shelf of middle grade books with queer themes to recommend to my students. The main character's sexuality is not the main focus of the novel - there are plenty of other large topics at hand such as the destruction of Ivy's house, the challenges of being 12 with two brand-new baby brothers, and navigating all that fun middle school drama. This story is sweet and heartfelt and does an excellent job of portraying a first crush and how it can be completely bewildering, overwhelming, wonderful, and awful all rolled into one.
