In this funny and hugely heartfelt novel from the Newbery Honor-winning author of Too Bright to See, a sixth-grader's life is turned upside down when she learns her dad is trans
Annabelle Blake fully expects this school year to be the same as every other: same teachers, same classmates, same, same, same. So she's elated to discover there's a new kid in town. To Annabelle, Bailey is a breath of fresh air. She loves hearing about their life in Seattle, meeting their loquacious (and kinda corny) parents, and hanging out at their massive house. And it doesn't hurt that Bailey has a cute smile, nice hands (how can someone even have nice hands?) and smells really good.
Suddenly sixth grade is anything but the same. And when her irascible father shares that he and Bailey have something big--and surprising--in common, Annabelle begins to see herself, and her family, in a whole new light. At the same time she starts to realize that her community, which she always thought of as home, might not be as welcoming as she had thought. Together Annabelle, Bailey, and their families discover how these categories that seem to mean so much-boy, girl, gay, straight, fruit, vegetable-aren't so clear-cut after all.

Elvin Morton Jellinek (1890-1963) nació en la ciudad de Nueva York en el año 1890.
Fisiólogo y experto en bioestadística, conocedor de nueve idiomas distintos, ha sido uno de los investigadores más importantes en alcoholismo y somos muchos los que consideramos que es el padre de los estudios científicos del alcoholismo.
Murió en el escritorio de su estudio en la universidad de Stanford el 22 de octubre de 1963. Hablaba nueve idiomas y podría comunicarse en cuatro más. Formo parte de la OMS, (Organización Mundial de la Salud), he aquí las fases del alcoholismo y la drogadicción que el propuso: (Tabla de la alcoholomanía)
En 1849, el médico sueco Magnus Huss (1807-1890) fue el primero en clasificar sistemáticamente el daño atribuible a la ingestión de alcohol. Huss acuñó el término alcoholismo y lo utilizó para etiquetar lo que él consideraba una enfermedad crónica y recidivante.
Jellinek acuñó la expresión «el concepto de enfermedad del alcoholismo», y aceleró significativamente el movimiento hacia la medicalización de la embriaguez y la habituación al alcohol.
El estudio inicial de Jellinek en 1946 fue financiado por Marty Mann y R. Brinkley Smithers.
Se basó en un estudio estrecho y selectivo de un grupo cuidadosamente seleccionado de miembros de Alcohólicos Anónimos (AA) que habían devuelto un cuestionario de autoevaluación.
Para considerar a un individuo como enfermo alcohólico es por que ha adquirido una incapacidad para abstenerse o tener una «pérdida de control» aunque no en todos existen todas las circunstancias extremas.
Jellinek escribe que el alcoholismo se desarrolla en 4 fases distintas y establece los distintos síntomas que van apareciendo en un orden del tiempo muy parecido a este:
Growing up in 1860s China, Tam Ling Fan has lived a life of comfort. Her father is wealthy enough to provide for his family but unconventional enough to spare Ling Fan from the debilitating foot-binding required of most well-off girls. But Ling Fan's life is upended when her brother dies of influenza and their father is imprisoned under false accusations. Hoping to earn the money that will secure her father's release, Ling Fan disguises herself as a boy and takes her brother's contract to work for the Central Pacific Railroad Company in America. Life on "the Gold Mountain" is grueling and dangerous. To build the railroad that will connect the west coast to the east, Ling Fan and other Chinese laborers lay track and blast tunnels through the treacherous peaks of the Sierra Nevada, facing cave-ins, avalanches, and blizzards-along with hostility from white Americans. When someone threatens to expose Ling Fan's secret, she must take an even greater risk to save what's left of her family ... and to escape the Gold Mountain alive.
