Critics Review
STARRED REVIEW
“Gow’s latest middle-grade novel (Dear Mothman, 2023) continues delving into the intersection of transgender or nonbinary identities with autistic and ADHD neurodivergence, and while B thinks no one would be able to understand their brain, autistic readers especially will find much that is both relatable and validating.”
B’s search for self-identity is artfully written… * Publishers Weekly *
STARRED REVIEW
“B’s struggle to find home and acceptance will have readers rooting for them and Gooseberry the dog. A must-purchase realistic fiction title for all middle grade collections.”
A sensitive exploration of autism, gender identity, and dog training. * Kirkus *
