This book was the perfect blend of hopeful and sad! There were many lines that had me bawling my eyes out and even more that gave me much needed hope and joy!
Noah's journey through grief and his discovery of himself was just inspiring in all ways possible. I think this was one of the few times I have empathized with a character so much!
The support he found also from Hannah, Molly and Alice was just amazing especially in the face of so much negative emotions from his classmates!
I just completely and utterly loved this book!!

A wonderful middle grade novel exploring identity and grief through letters to Mothman. At the beginning, you'll just want to wrap Noah up in a hug. Through most of the story, honestly. He's struggling because the only friend he told he was trans, Lewis, has died suddenly in a car accident and Noah isn't sure how to share that information with anyone else. 

Noah is also struggling with Lewis's death because it seems that Noah was the only one who knew Lews was trans. So many feelings for 6th grade, and Gow shows it all with grace. Gow's transition to middle grade is an absolute triumph and I can't wait to see what comes next.
