This is such an interesting book; a combination of nonfiction and speculative fiction. I'm not sure I've read a book like it before. The concept is also fascinating: Gibney imagining the different lives she could have had if she ended up in different family situations.
I can see why this was chosen for the Printz! They always seem to pick the unusally published books and this definitely fits the bill. Lots of different teens will see themselves in this book for sure. It explores a lot of different themes like family, identity, and what makes us who we are. I am definitely interested in seeing what else Gibney comes up with.

This may be the best book I have ever read. So short but packs such a great punch. I can’t recommend it more.
