Ein Sommer in dem sich alles verändert … Zum Ende des Schuljahres beschließt Mückes beste Freundin Moira, die kommenden Ferien zu nutzen, um sich auf die neue Schule vorzubereiten. Für Moira bedeutet das, die richtigen Klamotten zu finden, zu lernen, wie man sich schminkt, und zu entscheiden, welche Jungs am süßesten aussehen. Aber Mücke interessiert sich gar nicht für diesen ganzen vermeintlichen Mädchenkram. Außerdem gibt es Wichtigeres: Seit dem Tod von Onkel Roderick scheint ein Geist durch das verwunschene alte Haus zu spuken – und vielleicht spukt er sogar in Mücke selbst? Als sich nämlich nach und nach das Geheimnis um den Geist lüftet, kommt eine unerwartete Wahrheit ans Licht: Mücke ist kein Mädchen, Mücke ist trans. »Ein sanftes, leuchtendes Wunder, voller Liebe und Verständnis.« The New York Times Book Review

A Newbery Honor Book • Winner of the Stonewall Book Award • A National Book Award Finalist "A gentle, glowing wonder, full of love and understanding." –The New York Times Book Review It's the summer before middle school and eleven-year-old Bug's best friend Moira has decided the two of them need to use the next few months to prepare. For Moira, this means figuring out the right clothes to wear, learning how to put on makeup, and deciding which boys are cuter in their yearbook photos than in real life. But none of this is all that appealing to Bug, who doesn't particularly want to spend more time trying to understand how to be a girl. Besides, there's something more important to worry about: A ghost is haunting Bug's eerie old house in rural Vermont...and maybe haunting Bug in particular. As Bug begins to untangle the mystery of who this ghost is and what they're trying to say, an altogether different truth comes to light--Bug is transgender.
In this funny and hugely heartfelt novel from a Stonewall Award winner, a sixth-grader’s life is turned upside down when she learns her dad is trans.Annabelle Blake fully expects this school year to be the same as every other: same teachers, same classmates, same everything. So she’s elated to discover there’s a new kid in town. To Annabelle, Bailey is a breath of fresh air. She loves hearing about their life in Seattle, meeting their loquacious (and kinda corny) parents, and hanging out at their massive house. And it doesn’t hurt that Bailey has a cute smile, nice hands (how can someone even have nice hands?) and smells really good. Suddenly sixth grade is anything but the same. And when her irascible father shares that he and Bailey have something big (and surprising) in common, Annabelle begins to see herself, and her family, in a whole new light. At the same time she starts to realize that her community, which she always thought of as home, might not be as welcoming as she had thought. Together Annabelle and Bailey discover how these categories that seem to mean so much— boy, girl, gay, straight— aren’t so clear-cut after all.
