"Gephart has written a story that will speak not just to one specific community, but to humanity as a whole." --VOYA

For readers who enjoyed Wonder and Counting by 7's, award-winning author Donna Gephart crafts a compelling dual narrative about two remarkable young people: Lily, a transgender girl, and Dunkin, a boy dealing with bipolar disorder. Their powerful story will shred your heart, then stitch it back together with kindness, humor, bravery, and love.

Lily Jo McGrother, born Timothy McGrother, is a girl. But being a girl is not so easy when you look like a boy. Especially when you're in the eighth grade.

Dunkin Dorfman, birth name Norbert Dorfman, is dealing with bipolar disorder and has just moved from the New Jersey town he's called home for the past thirteen years. This would be hard enough, but the fact that he is also hiding from a painful secret makes it even worse.

One summer morning, Lily Jo McGrother meets Dunkin Dorfman, and their lives forever change.

"Gephart clearly has a lot of heart, and she tells their stories with compassion."--Kirkus

"A thoughtfully and sensitively written work of character-driven fiction that dramatically addresses two important subjects that deserve more widespread attention."--Booklist, starred

"Gephart sympathetically contrasts the physical awkwardness, uncertainty, and longings of these two outsiders during a few tightly-plotted months, building to a crescendo of revelation... A] valuable portrait of two teenagers whose journeys are just beginning."--PW

"This would be a fantastic addition to any middle grade library collection, and is highly recommended for all ages."--VOYA

"Lily and Dunkin is a delight. Here's a book for anyone who's ever struggled with being different--or anyone who's ever loved someone who bears the burden of difference. . . . Crucial, heart-breaking, and inspiring." --Jennifer Finney Boylan, author of She's Not There and Stuck in the Middle with You

sturdy, easy and quick to put together
Size: g:Square Table with Umbrella Hole, Color: Light Grey
Packaged with care. No damage. Easy and quick to put together. I bought 2 for the deck. Goes well with any style outdoor furniture. Sturdy, heavy, wide enough that it shouldn't get blown over by the wind. The only problem was that several of the screws on each table couldn't be installed because the holes for attaching the base to the table top didn't line up properly and would not go in. The tops on each table still held together and as long as you don't lift from the top you can't tell. Other than that, they're super awesome end tables.

Easy to use
Size: g:Square Table with Umbrella Hole, Color: Black
perfect little porch table. I think it is best to just go between two chairs. I have a small fire pit on mine. Very sturdy and heavy duty but not too heavy. Pretty low price compared to others that I looked at.

Nice table, good find for use with umbrella
Size: g:Square Table with Umbrella Hole, Color: Teak
Really like this for my deck umbrella. Nice color. Be mindful of the room underneath for how you will set up a base so that it fits. Didn't take too long to put together. Only item I wasn't most thrilled with was hearing what I would describe as metal shavings in the tubes of the table legs/sides when rotating them so to speak.
