I got an ARC of this book.
I tried reading this one night. Then I had life happen for a month. I don't remember this book at all. I know I was so not interested that I marked it as done on my review calendar after one single night. So not sure how helpful this review is, but this book was not one for me at all.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Such a wonderful book! I love that this is not just "am I queer?" but also "how do I navigate having new friends?" and "what do I do about bullies?" The age range is 8-12 year olds, but the novel focuses on Ham, a 13 year old boy going to public school for the first time. I think this book is great for younger kids, but also plan to add to my 8th grade shelves in the fall. Ham is incredibly relateable, but I wish we got to know his mom and adopted grandfather much more as well.
