This was delightful! Jamie follows Jamie, a nonbinary kid in Year 6 who so far has had mainly positive experiences with their gender identity being accepted at school and at home. But when it's time to start thinking about secondary school, things get messy. In Jamie's town, there are only two secondary schools - one for girls and one for boys. But what about people like Jamie, who are neither? Jamie and their friends embark on a mission to change the binary thinking of their town, and make space for people like Jamie. 

I devoured this book in less than 24 hours - expected since it's middle grade with rather large font, but the story had me absolutely hooked! I loved Jamie, and thought Lapinski did an amazing job with their voice. Since they're only 11, it'd be odd if they came across as too worldly and wise, but Lapinski did a great job of striking the balance between naive tween and progressive. I loved the inclusion of Jamie's dictionary entries at the start of each chapter, which will help younger readers get to grips with terms like nonbinary, gender identity, etc. 

My heart broke a little when it came to Jamie's parents - initially they seem accepting of Jamie's gender, but when it begins to be a 'problem', they seem to want Jamie to just fit in - just 'pick a side'. It was hard to swallow, but luckily there is learning and growth. 

Overall a heartwarming and hopeful story about being the change you want to see in the world, taking up space, and taking no shit.
