When a tornado rips through town, twelve-year-old Ivy Aberdeen's
house is destroyed and her family of five is displaced. Ivy feels
invisible and ignored in the aftermath of the storm--and what's
worse, her notebook filled with secret drawings of girls holding
hands with girls has gone missing. Mysteriously, Ivy's drawings
begin to reappear in her locker with notes from someone telling her
to speak openly about her identity. Ivy thinks--and hopes--that
this someone might be her classmate, another girl for whom Ivy has
begun to develop feelings. Spoiler: In the end, the drawings and
messages are being sent by Ivy's best friend, Taryn, and
unfortunately the girl Ivy has feelings for doesn't return
them--but the novel ends on a tone of hope for Ivy and her
identity. Titles featuring prominent LGBTQ characters have been
gradually finding their way to the young adult shelves--but even
rarer are middle grade books featuring LGBTQ protagonists. The fact
that middle grade books such as George, Gracefully Grayson, and
Better Nate Than Ever have main characters who are LGBTQ has gained
each title widespread attention; and Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the
World helps to fill an even rarer category still: lesbian
characters in middle grade. Ivy Aberdeen has the potential to be
positioned as one of the few LGBTQ middle grade books pushing for
more diversity on the shelves. This sweet, tender novel has a
strong voice in the vein of The Thing About Jellyfish, strong
potential for the School & Library market, and is an award
contender.
