Reviews
“Clarke artfully twists together LGBTQ concerns and disability issues with self-esteem, respect, and compassion. This book is a current-day Beverly Cleary or Judy Blume, delving into issues faced by kids, like bullying and tolerance, but with an issue experienced by many kids today.”
“Without a doubt, The Pants Project is a good book, for kids or adults. It’s also a great reminder that adolescence is hard, kids are mean, support is key—and it’s all wrapped up in a wise, self-aware preteen you’ll enjoy meeting.”
“A tale that unabashedly affirms the importance of accepting and celebrating differences…A fine addition to LGBTQ children’s literature.”
“A wonderfully sweet middle grade story with a satisfying ending…The hopeful tone makes it easier for readers to grapple with the serious issues discussed, and the happy-ever-after ending will not fail to satisfy.”
“Liv is the perfect hero…Through The Pants Project, Liv learns important lessons about friendship and the importance of staying true to yourself—takeaways every kid can relate to.”
“The Pants Project gently and humorously reminds readers that being just like everyone else isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.”
