2020 Odyssey Honor Award, 2020 Rainbow Booklist Title, NCTE 2020 Notable Poetry Book, and ALSC Notable Children's Recordings highlight this universal story about finding comfort in one's own skin. When Kate and Tam meet, their worlds shift unexpectedly. Initially, Tam perceives Kate as a typical cheerleader, while Kate views Tam as just another tall jock. However, as they keep encountering each other, they reveal surprising depths. Beneath Kate's polished exterior, Tam discovers a goofy, sensitive, and lonely girl. In turn, Kate realizes that Tam is much more than a volleyball player—she embodies everything Kate wishes she could be. Their connection is genuine, but not everyone understands it. This novel in verse explores two girls navigating their feelings for each other in a sincere and relatable manner, allowing young readers to connect with the story. The text features a unique presentation that beautifully intertwines two first-person narratives. K.A. Holt, the author of several acclaimed books for young people, resides in Austin, Texas. Critics praise the work as a "glowing, heartfelt addition to the middle-grade LGBTQ genre," with accessible free verse narration that highlights the characters' parallel journeys. This moving story is an excellent choice for middle school students and preteens aged 10-14.
