I received an ARC of this title from the publisher via Net Galley.

Not a boring coming of age story. Bug has grown up with mom and uncle in a house that has ghosts. Bug's uncle dies at a young age. Soon after, Bug is being haunted by a ghost. Bug's best friend Moira does not like ghosts, and Bug also does not want to worry Mom, so Bug tries to figure out who the ghost is, and what the ghost wants. This all happens the summer before middle school. While navigating the haunting and greif, Bug is also faced with the changing landscape of their friendship with Moira. Moira, increasingly more interested in dresses, boys, hair and makeup, wants to help Bug with this changing their image before school starts. However, these changes leave Bug with dread and a knotted stomach. Not a spoiler-- Bug figures out they are actually a transgender

I love the mixture of all of these elements. Kyle Lukoff did a great job of melding them all together without making the story feel messy, disjointed or overwhelming.
