I really enjoyed the author's debut, Felix Yz. "But, one other thing." Zen turned back unwillingly. She flailed her hands and said, "Oh, leave me alone. Aunt Phil never said what Zen thought she was going to say. "I hate all my clothes! You don't know anything about shopping!" In the way her eyes skittered from fact to face as the other students streamed past. Anyone paying attention could have seen it. Timely and touching, Zenobia July is, at its heart, a story about finding home.įirst Line: She had that new kid look.
When someone anonymously posts hateful memes on her school's website, Zenobia knows she's the one with the abilities to solve the mystery, all while wrestling with the challenges of a new school, a new family, and coming to grips with presenting her true gender for the first time. People used to tell her she was a boy now she's able to live openly as the girl she always knew she was. She used to spend most of her time behind a computer screen, improving her impressive coding and hacking skills now she's coming out of her shell and discovering a community of friends at Monarch Middle School. She used to live in Arizona with her father now she's in Maine with her aunts. Publisher synopsis: The critically acclaimed author of Felix Yz crafts a bold, heartfelt story about a trans girl solving a cyber mystery and coming into her own.
