About this item
Three kids who don't belong. A room that shouldn't exist. A year that will change everything. Perfect for fans of Rebecca Stead and Meg Medina, this debut middle grade novel from award-winning author Mark Oshiro is a hopeful and heartfelt coming-of-age story for anyone who's ever felt like they didn't fit in. San Francisco and Orangevale may be in the same state, but for Hctor Muoz, they might as well be a million miles apart. Back home, being gay didn't mean feeling different. At Hctor's new school, he couldn't feel more alone. Most days, Hctor just wishes he could disappear. And he does. Right into the janitor's closet. (Yes, he sees the irony.) But one day, when the door closes behind him, Hctor discovers he's stumbled into a room that shouldn't be possible.
