Thanks to Macmillan for the free copy of this book.
- OLLIE IN BETWEEN is a middle grade novel inspired by ARE YOU THERE, GOD? IT’S ME MARGARET starring a kid discovering they might be trans.
- It’s by turns funny and heartbreaking, and you just want to squeeze Ollie and their friends so tightly.
- I think I’d put this on the upper end of middle grade, as it tackles some hard and complex topics like transphobia and misogyny.
