(2) YA Fifteen-year-old orphan Kivali, possibly dropped on Earth by an alien lizard race, is a "midrange bender": an androgynous youth forced to choose a gender pre-puberty; Kivali wonders if it's really imperative to identify as only girl or boy, straight or gay, human or lizard. A distinct dystopian world, a gender-fluid protagonist, and socially conscious writing provoke questions about Kivali's (and the reader's) reality.
