About this ebook
A Kirkus Best Book of 2024!
There's a place for everyone, you've just got to find it. Jamie is a beautiful and uplifting story about how to make your own place in a world that doesn't think you fit.
"Excels at being educational without sacrificing charm, humor, or excitement." Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
"Essential addition to the growing cannon of queer literature for young people. For readers who enjoy Alex Gino, Kyle Lukoff, or A. J. Sass." Booklist
Jamie Rambeau is a happy 11-year-old non-binary kid who loves hanging out with their two best friends, Daisy and Ash. But when the trio find out that their local middle schools separate into a school for boys and a school for girls, their friendship suddenly seems at risk. And when Jamie realizes no one has thought about where they are going to go, they decide to take matters into their own hands.
As the friends' efforts to raise awareness eventually become a rooftop protest against the binary rules for the local schools, Jamie realizes that if they don't figure out a way forward, they could lose both their friends forever.
Published in partnership with media advocacy organization GLAAD, this empowering book positively represents LGBTQ families.
