Alice Austen Lived Here | Alex Gino

2 posts | 4 read | 2 to read

Middle school student Sam is comfortable with their nonbinary identity, and their family has accepted it too (as long as they do their homework and chores), so when their history teacher assigns as a project coming up with a proposal for the new statue honoring a historical Staten Islander (there is a contest involved) they and their friend TJ decide to focus on Alice Austen, a lesbian photographer, whose house on Staten Island is a museum--but they have to overcome the presumption on the part of their teacher that only straight males are eligible.

Gino has penned another winner with this MG story about two friends, both nonbinary, navigating family, friendship, & school. When the borough of Staten Island launches an essay contest to help pick the subject of the borough‘s next statue, Sam & TJ write about Alice Austen, a famous photographer who lived with her female partner for decades in the early/mid 1900s. Will they win?!? A great story with fantastic characters. On sale 4/5/22.
