Mountain Upside Down - Hardcover
by Sara Ryan (Author)
A funny and heartfelt LGBTQIA+ middle grade novel set against the backdrop of family drama and a library funding campaign in a small town.
Alex Eager lives in Faillin, OR with her grandmother, a retired librarian. Life should be great for Alex, since she finally worked up the courage to ask her best friend PJ if they could be more than friends and she said yes. But their new relationship will have to be long distance, because PJ is moving. On top of that, Alex is worried that something is wrong with her increasingly forgetful grandmother. And to make matters worse, Faillin is holding a referendum on library funding, and things aren't looking good. Will anything good for Alex ever last? Mountain Upside Down is a beautifully crafted story of a thirteen-year-old girl finding her place in her family and her community. It's a queer-positive story that doesn't center coming out. It's a story of a library's role in a community that doesn't feature book banning. And it's a story of long-held family secrets and resentment that focuses not on final resolution but learning how to communicate again.Author Biography
