From the
author of the critically acclaimed Gracefully Grayson comes a
thoughtful and sensitive middle-grade novel about non-binary identity and first
love, Ami Polonsky’s Spin with Me.
In this elegant dual narrative, Essie is a thirteen-year-old girl feeling glum
about starting a new school after her professor dad takes a temporary teaching
position in a different town. She has 110 days here and can’t wait for them to
end. Then she meets Ollie, who is nonbinary. Ollie has beautiful blue eyes and
a confident smile. Soon, Essie isn’t counting down the days until she can leave
so much as she’s dreading when her time with Ollie will come to an end.
Meanwhile, Ollie is experiencing a crush of their own . . . on Essie. As Ollie
struggles to balance their passion for queer advocacy with their other
interests, they slowly find themselves falling for a girl whose stay is about
to come to an end. Can the two unwind their merry-go-round of feelings before
it’s too late?

I LOVED this book! My teen has already added it to his pile to read as soon as possible, because I couldn’t stop telling him it was a must! Refreshing and fun, this book makes my momma heart happy to see different voices be out there as an option for younger readers, to have books that can relate to everyone!
Ollie & Essie are sure to be a huge hit with every reader, we need more books like this one!
I am so glad I am able to be a part of a tour that makes my heart SOAR with happiness, thank you for having me!

I enjoy reading middle grade and this is the first book I’ve encountered that deals with this issue and I can’t wait to read it. Emotional books like this are my favorites and help me see the world differently.
