ABOUT THE BOOK
“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 change forever.”
