Feb 02, 2020 Garren rated it it was amazing

Best book I haven't read! Seriously, though, you know who got on here to give it a 1 star way before publication.

I'm just over here putting it on the order for all of our city's branch libraries so queer children have another way of seeing that they're great!

Normally I don't rate books before I read them. But I know this one's going to be amazing. So.

About Katherine Locke

Katherine Locke

405 followers

Katherine Locke lives and writes in a small town outside Philadelphia, where she’s ruled by her feline overlords and her addiction to chai lattes. She writes about that which she cannot do: ballet, magic, and time travel. She secretly believes all stories are fairytales in disguise. Her YA debut, THE GIRL WITH THE RED BALLOON, arrives September 2017 from Albert Whitman & Comapny.
