Twelve-year-old Abigail (she/her/hers) is so excited to spend her summer at Camp QUILTBAG, an inclusive retreat for queer and trans kids. Noah decides it’s up to him to risk everything, trek into the woods, and find Mothman himself.īuy it: Bookshop | Amazon | IndieBound Camp QUILTBAG by Nicole Melleby and A.J. But as strange things start to happen and Noah becomes sure of Mothman’s existence, his parents and teachers don’t believe him.

Now, they welcome him, and he starts to open up to each of them, especially Hanna, who Noah has a crush on. Meanwhile, as Noah tries to find Mothman, Noah also starts to make friends with a group of girls in his grade, Hanna, Molly, and Alice, with whom he’d been friendly, but never close to. Noah becomes determined to make his science fair project about Mothman, despite his teachers and parents urging him to make a project about something “real.” After his death, lonely and yearning for someone who could understand him like Lewis once did, Noah starts writing letters to Mothman, wondering if he would understand how Noah feels and also looking for evidence of Mothman’s existence in the vast woods surrounding his small Poconos town. Together they daydreamed about cryptids and shared discovering their genders and names. Lewis was adventurous and curious, always bringing a new paranormal story to share with Noah. Halfway through sixth grade, Noah’s best friend and the only other trans boy in his school, Lewis, passed away in a car accident. It’s Trans Day of Visibility, and we’re celebrating (as we celebrate everything) with a whole bunch of great trans books! As always, this post only includes titles that were not included in full in past posts, but definitely check those out for even more trans lit goodness! Books to Buy Now Dear Mothman by Robin Gow
