Lily And Dunkin

"When a pair of introverted outsiders meet, their lives are about to change forever. For Lily, being herself is a battle she fears she is losing. For Dunkin, the new kid, he’s barely staying afloat. Middle school is hard enough, but when you are transgender or dealing with a bipolar disorder, it can be torture. Though some scenes seem to wrap up too neatly, friendship, understanding and love are challenged in this finely nuanced novel. Donna Gephart’s Lily and Dunkin introduces us to two kids who just want to be themselves — and when they find each other, they may just get that chance. (For ages 10 and up)"
