Different Kinds of Fruit by Kyle Lukoff (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Different Kinds of Fruit by Kyle Lukoff "In this funny and hugely heartfelt novel from the Newbery Honor-winning author of Too Bright to See, a sixth-graders life is turned upside down when she learns her dad is trans Annabelle Blake fully expects this school year to be the same as every other: same teachers, same classmates, same, same, same. So shes elated to discover theres a new kid in town. To Annabelle, Bailey is a breath of fresh air. She loves hearing about their life in Seattle, meeting their loquacious (and kinda corny) parents, and hanging out at their massive house. And it doesnt hurt that Bailey has a cute smile, nice hands (how can someone even have nice hands?) and smells really good. Suddenly sixth grade is anything but the same. And when her irascible father shares that he and Bailey have something big--and surprising--in common, Annabelle begins to see herself, and her family, in a whole new light. At the same time she starts to realize that her community, which she always thought of as home, might not be as welcoming as she had thought. Together Annabelle, Bailey, and their families discover how these categories that seem to mean so much--boy, girl, gay, straight, fruit, vegetable--arent so clear-cut after all."

Review … "Kyle Lukoffs remarkable Different Kinds of Fruit will be as meaningful to young readers today as Judy Blumes Are you There God? Its Me, Margaret was for generations of readers before them." - BookPage, starred review … "Lukoff masterfully portrays the personalities, both child and adult, that Annabelle comes to know, believes she knows, and those whom Annabelle questions can ever know her...This one belongs in every library serving grade-school kids." - School Library Journal, starred review … "This is a valuable, informative, entertaining, and realistic read for middle school students." - School Library Connection, starred review … "Lukoff reflects diversity in the world around Annabelle while also heightening her awareness of spaces that are not as inclusive as they claim to be and exploring what to do with that understanding. Inquisitive, engaged, and action-seeking." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review … "Lukoff offers a story with vivid, well-rounded characters that never talks down to kids... Themes of inclusion and privilege in todays society are seamlessly integrated into the familiar plot of a kids first crush, and the focus on the great ways that communities can come together to keep everyone within it safe is a gratifying through line." - Booklist, starred review "Bighearted and affirming." - Publishers Weekly "A brave title for a time when we need brave books for kids more than ever. - Betsy Bird, A Fuse #8 Production Details ISBN Author Kyle Lukoff Pages 439 Language English Year 2023 ISBN-13 9798885784139 Publication Date 2023-01-11 Publisher Youth Large Print Format Hardcover Imprint Youth Large Print Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2023-01-11 NZ Release Date 2023-01-11 US Release Date 2023-01-11 UK Release Date 2023-01-11 Audience Age 10-13 Edition Description Large type / large print edition DEWEY FIC Audience Children / Juvenile We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
