why am I crying at a book written for 12 year olds? I'm reading a bunch of queer kids books to sort them for a pride event and this was def one of my favorites. it's a very honest story of a young kid trying to come to terms with his parents' divorce and his dad's new (gay) relationship. add in a grouchy neighbor, a new friend, and a unicorn bicycle, and you have a sweet little book that will appeal to kids and grownups alike.
