So shes elated to discover theres a new kid in town. To Annabelle Bailey is a breath of fresh air.

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 and Bailey discover how these categories that seem to mean so much boy girl gay straight arent so clear-cut after all.
