Well-rounded adventure.” Booklist“Kim and Klavan offer a sly social commentary with a fizzy dash of stomach-lurching horror. Hickss chunky art goes to town with the revolting possibilities. Smart, disgusting fun.” Kirkus Reviews“A quick and quirky graphic novel.” School Library Journal“Excellent, and the combination of horror, suspense, and love story are likely to interest a much broader audience than any one theme alone.

Philip PullmanOn the first day at his new school, Leo Denton has one goal: to be invisible. Attracting the attention of the most beautiful girl in his class is definitely not part of that plan--especially because Leo is a trans guy and isnt out at his new school. Then Leo stands up for a classmate in a fight and they become friends. With Leos help and support, the classmate, who is a trans girl, prepares to come out and transition--to find a new name, Kate, and live a truth that has been kept secret for too long. Kate and Leo are surrounded by bigots, but they have each other, and they have hope in their future.The Art of Being Normal: A Novel by Lisa Williamson is an uplifting story about two teenagers set in the modern day in the United Kingdom. The author was inspired to write this novel after working in Englands national health service, in a department dedicated to helping teens who are questioning their gender identity. This novel, which won awards in the UK, is a first-person narrative about two transgender students, and is ideal for cisgender (cis) readers people who identify with the gender assigned to them at birth to learn more about gender identity and what it means to be transgender.A Margaret Ferguson BookPraise for The Art of Being Normal:“The Art of Being Normal is a deeply powerful, important story that also happens to be a blast to read. You’ll fall in love . . . right away, your heart will bleed at some moments and melt at others, and you’ll root for them until the bitter end.” Bill Konigsberg, Stonewall Award-winning author of Openly Straight and The Porcupine of Truth“The book alternates between [both characters] viewpoints, but readers don’t find out what they have in common until Leo’s burgeoning romance gets derailed. . . . Debut author Williamson does a good job of depicting British class realities and [the characters] struggles with family, bullying, friendship, and bravery. While the book doesn’t sugarcoat the difficulty of being a trans teen, it offers hope and the sense that even if you can’t get everything you want, you can get what you need.” Publishers Weekly“Two British transgender teens try to come to terms with their lives while facing serious bullying in their school. . . . Williamson has worked with teens grappling with their gender identities, and she folds practical information, about hormonal therapy to freeze puberty, for instance, as well as empathy into her story. A welcome, needed novel.” Kirkus Reviews“An important addition to collections for its first-person perspectives on the experiences and inner lives of transgender teens.” School Library Journal“Williamson presents a fresh perspective in contemporary LGBTQ drama by presenting two heroes in different stages of transitioning and further bringing the teens to life through their foibles and family dramas. . . . The best part is that it is a friendship tale; romance plays a role in the story, but it is not the focus. This is a wonderful addition to any teen collection.” VOYA, starred reviewPraise for the British edition of The Art of Being Normal:A passionate and gripping tale. Five stars. The TelegraphThe Art of Being Normal deserves to attract attention not only for its sensitive portrayal of life as a transgender teenager but for the authors aptitude for crafting vivid, engaging and convincing characters who keep you rooting for them through the many testing obstacles she puts in their way.

From School Library Journal Grade 3-5. A fine and faithful rendering of an unforgettable story. Steigs engaging prose and endearing characters have made the charming survival tale a classic. A chivalrous mouse is swept away from a picnic during a torrential rainstorm while trying to retrieve his wifes scarf. He is lost, separated from everything and everyone he loves, and learns firsthand the meaning of utter loneliness. Readers will love Abel for his devotion, for his galantry in the face of hardship, and for his refusal to give up hope. Through his trials, the mouse learns that he possesses fortitude, perseverance, and gumption. The delightfully happy ending is satisfying in any language.?Marisa Parish, New York Public Library Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review “With inimitable style, Steig tells the story of a mouse, Abelard Hassam di Chirico Flint, who gets swept away in a driving rainstorm while rescuing his wifes scarf and winds up stranded on a river island for a year. . .You cant help but give a cheer for Abel and his creator.” Starred, Booklist About the Author William Steig (1907-2003) was a cartoonist, illustrator and author of award-winning books for children, including Shrek!, on which the DreamWorks movies are based.

He attended City College and the National Academy of Design. In 1930, Steig’s work began appearing in The New Yorker, where his drawings have been a popular fixture ever since. He published his first childrens book, Roland the Minstrel Pig, in 1968. In 1970, Steig received the Caldecott Medal for Sylvester and the Magic Pebble. His books for children also include Dominic; The Real Thief; The Amazing Bone, a Caldecott Honor Book; Amos & Boris, a National Book Award finalist; and Abels Island and Doctor De Soto, both Newbery Honor Books. Steigs books have also received the Christopher Award, the Irma Simonton Black Award, the William Allen White Childrens Book Award, and the American Book Award. His European awards include the Premio di Letteratura per linfanzia (Italy), the Silver Pencil Award (the Netherlands), and the Prix de la Fondation de France.
