Blurb
"Each poem is as raw as it is beautiful." ---Alex Gino, author of ALA Stonewall Award-winning novel Melissa A middle grade novel in verse about a young trans girl who uses a computer game to process an ADHD diagnosis, isolation, and her relationship to gender.
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 maybeboy 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.
