There’s a good story in here. Unfortunately it was marred by an unbelievable number of basic spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors. It’s such a shame, because story and character-wise, it’s a really good example of the genre. I just wish the author had bothered to get a proofreader (or knew how to do it themselves). If it had been exactly as is but without any of the mistakes, it would have been 3.5 stars.

This is a middle grade book that's for everybody. Non-binary kids, queer kids, kids who don't feel like they fit in. And all other young people too, so they can learn, understand, and empathise.
And it's for adults, too. The struggle Jamie has to be understood and taken seriously as who they are by the adults in their life is a real-life struggle faced by many young queer people (and adults). “You can't just make up a gender” and other similar comments Jamie gets given are exactly the sort of hurtful things people say when they don't understand gender identity. Reading a book written from the POV of a non-binary character is a fantastic way to learn through empathy.
This book reads a little younger than Lapinski's “Strangeworld Travel Agency” trilogy, but it's just as compelling, and so incredibly important.

The Boy Who Cried Ghost
I only DNFed this because it was a bit too young for me. Ian Eagleton is a fantastic author and I loved his previous book "Glitter Boy". This is very much a "It's me, not the book" issue, and I'm sure it's a great read for the right age and person.
