Sam 非常了解自己的酷兒身份。他們是非二元性別者,而他們最好的朋友 TJ 也是非二元性別者。Sam 的家人對此非常開明……只要 Sam 記得,非二元性別的孩子也必須打掃房間、完成作業,並盡量不要太過招惹老師。

對老師保持尊重這件事,在 Sam 的歷史課上特別困難,因為他們的老師似乎認為,只有已故的異性戀順性別白人男性才對歷史有貢獻。當 Sam 的家鄉史泰登島舉辦新雕像徵件比賽時,Sam 找到了一個完美的非此類人選:攝影師艾莉絲·奧斯汀,她的故居已改建為博物館,而且她與一位女性伴侶共同生活了數十年。

很快地,Sam 的計畫不再只是為了贏得比賽。而是關於發掘 Sam 所參與的豐富酷兒歷史——只要還有像 Sam 和 TJ 這樣的孩子為它挺身而出,這份酷兒歷史就不再需要保持沉默。

Nicholas J. ★★★★★

I've read a lot of YA about queer kids with supportive families, but this one actually gets the nuance right—like the pressure to perform identity perfectly. The way Sam navigates TJ's understanding alongside their own self-discovery feels painfully real.

Andrew K. ★★★★★

Finally, a story that nails what it feels like to be a nonbinary teen with a supportive family. The way Sam and TJ's friendship is written feels so real and specific. This one’s going straight to my favorites shelf.

Christopher N. ★★★★★

The way Sam’s family is supportive but puts conditions on it feels so real—that tension hit close to home. I finished it in one sitting because I couldn’t stop turning pages.
