Such a heartwarming tale of both identity and grief. Lukoff does a great job of weaving the two together in a natural and authentic way. Only downside is it seemed rushed at times especially towards the end. Overall, a wonderful middle grade novel. Worthy of being taught!

See that? Started and finished the same day, from yours truly - a self-proclaimed slow reader. But here’s the thing: this book had so many things I love. Haunted houses, unlikely friends, and a pitch perfect queer coming-of-age story. Even better, it has beautiful writing and a complex plot with a refreshingly happy ending. Like, really happy - from all sides. No vicious bullies, no rejecting parental figures, no protagonist hating themselves - just some internal confusion (wrapped in a cool ghost story), a lightbulb moment and then, support! I cried happy tears!
