As described on their website, Alex Gino “loves glitter, ice cream, gardening, awe-ful puns, and stories that reflect the diversity and complexity of being alive.” Check out Alex’s website to learn more about them and their books.
Alex’s stories give middle school readers a gentle look at the life of kids struggling with their self-identity, and what it means to identify in different ways. Each character in Alex’s three books face different challenges and grow through their experiences with facing those challenges. The books are written with heart, humor, and the opportunity for growth (for both characters and readers).
