Author Alex Gino revisits the Rainbow Spectrum gang with a character named Green. Green uses the pronouns they/them and is thrilled that their friends, family, and even teachers are using their name Green consistently. With the help of their supportive dad and friends like Melissa and Rick, they have gained confidence and found a great place in their middle school.
Green has been interested in forming a closer friendship with Ronnie, a classmate they've known for a while. Hanging out with Ronnie has been fun, but now Green is hoping to take that fun to another level. They aren't sure if Ronnie is into guys or girls, and any conversations they have that head in that direction are inconclusive.
Getting involved in the backstage crew for the school musical offers Green a chance to get closer to Ronnie, but they still aren't sure Ronnie is into someone nonbinary. Green is ready to take some risks, but will things turn out the way they hope?
GREEN is sure to connect with readers feeling similar feelings and will also introduce readers unfamiliar with nonbinary individuals to the thoughts and feelings of those who identify as they/them. Gino tackles this topic with the directness and tact that they do in MELISSA and RICK. I definitely recommend adding this to the collection.
