Zenobia July is not just starting at a new school, she’s starting a new life. Zenobia grew up in Arizona, raised by her conservative dad. After her father’s death, Zenobia moves to Maine to live with her hippie lesbian aunts - which allows Zenobia to start life over, this time as her true gender, a girl. As she learns to navigate new friendships, new adults in her life, and a whole new persona, hateful memes begin to show up on the school’s website. The one thing Zenobia has full confidence in is her computer hacking skills, and she’s determined to find out who the perpetrator is and to stop the discriminatory memes. But in doing so, she risks exposing her past to her new friends. This is a story about families, friendships, and being true to oneself. (Vermont Middle Grade Book Award, 2021) |
