This was cute! It's a nice, sweet story about embracing your weirdness and letting it connect you to others rather than separate you. It's all a bit surface-level and pat, with characters all immediately and unequivocally accepting different gender identities, sexualities, spiritualities, etc. But it's a middle-grade book and it's meant to be charming comfort media, not hard-hitting psycho-social dissection. And it's nice that lots of kids who deal with exclusion will see themselves depicted in a joyous, loving story where good wins out. For me, this is kind of a 3-star, but taking into account the intended audience, I say it's a solid 4-star.
