For readers of Alex Gino and Ashley Herring Blake. Theres the part of me that doesnt understand kissing or cuteness or attraction, and then theres the part of me that feels so lonely. How do I make sense of those two parts? Maybe Ill never make sense of them. What do you do when theres a question inside you that feels so big, you dont know how to put words to it? How do you even begin to ask it? Fourteen-year-old Lizzie is experiencing a lot of change: her family had to move after the incident with their neighbor, leaving behind not only her beloved apple tree, but what feels like her childhood along with it. Lizzies brother is too busy for her in his first semester of college and her friends are more interested in dating than dolls. Its hard not to feel left behind, especially as she tries to explain the fact that she still has zero interest in boys, girls, or the baffling behavior known as "flirting." But just as Lizzies world feels like its closing in, a class lesson on asexual reproduction in plants piques her curiosity, leading her to look up whether people can be asexual too--and suddenly, her world opens up. Lizzie finally finds an identity, a word for all her messy, unnameable feelings that feels like it fits, although she quickly realizes that a label isnt enough if no one believes its real. Accessible, moving, and compassionate, Just Lizzie effortlessly braids a nuanced individual journey of identity with the bittersweet angst of growing up, growing apart, and learning there are many ways to live and love. 521 2 $a Grades 3 - 6. 650 0 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Asexual people $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Schools $v Fiction. 655 7 $a School fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Children's audiobooks. $2 lcgft 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio, $e issuing body. 710 2 $a Playaway Products, LLC, $e issuing body. 941 $a 1 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012531.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D5834F0ECB0611EEBD4A43E53CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
