Tash McAdam’s most recent title, No One Left But You (Penguin Random House 17.99) explores the world of a newly out trans teen in his final year of high school. Max starts the year dealing with the object of his summer romance who has turned into a bully. Then, remarkably, Max becomes the focus of Gloss, the new It Girl. A “rager” goes wrong and accusations fly, hitting both Gloss and Max. Although Max’s memories of the night are fuzzy, he is determined to find out the truth. McAdam is passionate about social justice and mentors trans youth through the Gender Generations Projects. When not writing, hobbies such as lake time, thinking about monsters, getting a tattoo, making miniatures, having tea, existential philosophy and a fascination with sharp objects takes up their time. 9781641294898
