(3) 4-6 Sixteen gay and gender-nonconforming authors contribute fictional stories to this anthology. The entries range from the realistic (two school-age fanfic writers realize that they're transgender like their online avatars) to the speculative (teen witch turns herself into a dog to get close to her crush); from narrative poetry to a graphic-novel-format story, in which a delightful trio of kids takes a self-effacing new nonbinary student to the thrift store to find their own homespun "cozy ghost" style. The creators capture the middle school age perfectly: the protagonists are still children, but the seeds of what they will become are beginning to sprout.
