"Writing smartly in Dylan's voice, Spangler artfully represents
both main characters: the boy who feels like a freak and the witty,
imperfect, wise trans girl he loves. Very lightly borrowing on the
classic fairy tale, she allows them to fail and succeed without
resorting to paper villains or violent plot points to manipulate
compassion. A believable and beautiful human story."—Kirkus

piercing insight into the long, painful battle to shatter
stereotypes in order to win dignity, love, and
acceptance." —Publishers Weekly starred review
