Synopsis"Each poem is as raw as it is beautiful." --Alex Gino, author of ALA Stonewall Award-winning novel Melissa For fans of Too Bright to See by Kyle Lukoff, a poignant novel in verse about a trans girl with ADHD who plays a computer game to process the isolation of middle school, her relationship to gender, and her wish for belonging-which she later finds through the joy of queer friendship. J-- 's life is consumed by the roller coaster video game Coaster Boss , and by the power she exerts over the pixelated theme park attendees. Her life outside the game, however, is less controllable. Me. I'm such a big space. I break the universe, a glitch. She's navigating ADHD, the loneliness of middle school, and an overwhelming crush on a girl named Junie. J-- is convinced that Junie sees her as who she really is, a person who isn't "bad" just because she doesn't stay quiet and sit still in class. As a person who is realizing that the name she's been given doesn't really fit her. And that boy doesn't either. Glitch Girl! follows J-- from fifth to seventh grade, from the beginning to the end of her obsession with Coaster Boss , and to the start of a new friendship. When J-- meets Sam, a nonbinary classmate, she begins to realize that it's okay to not fit into neat, pixelated boxes., "Each poem is as raw as it is beautiful." --Alex Gino, author of ALA Stonewall Award-winning novel Melissa For fans of Too Bright to See by Kyle Lukoff, a poignant novel in verse about a trans girl with ADHD who plays a computer game to process the isolation of middle school, her relationship to gender, and her wish for belonging-which she later finds through the joy of queer friendship.
