Book excerpt: Winner, LGBTQ+ Middle Grade Lammy Award (Lambda Literary Award) Robin Gow’s acclaimed middle grade novel in verse about a young trans boy dealing with the loss of his friend by writing to his favorite cryptid, Mothman Moving and lyrical, Dear Mothman is a story about finding belonging and hope in the most unexpected places. A few months ago, Noah’s best friend and the only other trans boy in his school, Lewis, passed away in a car accident. Feeling lost and alone, Noah starts writing letters to Mothman, Lewis’s favorite cryptid, wondering if he would understand how Noah feels. At first, Noah isn’t sure whether he actually believes in Mothman—not like Lewis did. But when strange things start to happen around his wooded home, Noah wonders whether there might be something to the stories. He decides to make his science fair project about Mothman, despite his teacher’s urging to study something “real.” As Noah’s mind begins to open, so does his world. He makes friends with a group of girls in his grade and finally feels like he belongs. But most people are not so accepting, and he has no evidence to prove that Mothman exists. With the science fair looming closer, Noah decides to risk everything, trek into the woods, and find Mothman himself. “A hauntingly moving examination of grief, friendship, and identity, reminiscent of my favorite classics. Robin Gow has a magic with words, stirring and shining a light on the deepest of emotions, leaving behind goosebumps (and tears) for Noah’s story. This book is a gift.” —Kacen Callender, author of the National Book Award winner King and the Dragonflies

He promised to be good, but an entity like him couldn’t claim human contracts. Not that I was any form of human. They called me an angel; I just needed a demon to balance out those dark desires I couldn’t contain. They said the villain would burn down the world for the woman he loves. What does that make me? The woman lying in ashes, and the burnt match in her hand was either him or them. And there was never a choice when you fall in love with the darkest of souls, not when they peak to the depths of your own." ★★★★★ There is Heaven, and there is Hell.
