Lily and Dunkin

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST KIDS BOOKS OF THE YEAR by
NPR * New York Public Library * JUNIOR
LIBRARY GUILD SELECTION * GOODREADS CHOICE AWARDS

For readers who enjoyed Wonder and Counting by 7’s, award-winning author Donna Gephart crafts a compelling story
about two remarkable young people: Lily, a transgender girl, and Dunkin, a
boy dealing with bipolar disorder. Their powerful journey, perfect for fans
of Wonder, will shred your
heart, then stitch it back together with kindness, humor, bravery, and
love.

Lily Jo McGrother, born Timothy McGrother, is a girl. But being a girl is
not so easy when you look like a boy. Especially when you’re in the eighth
grade.

Dunkin Dorfman, birth name Norbert Dorfman, is dealing with bipolar
disorder and has just moved from the New Jersey town he’s called home for the
past thirteen years. This would be hard enough, but the fact that he is also
hiding from a painful secret makes it even worse.

One summer morning, Lily Jo McGrother meets Dunkin Dorfman, and their lives
forever change.
