"A vital read that celebrates the power of true authenticity."
-School Library Journal (starred)

"Clear echoes of Judy Blume."
-Booklist, starred review

In his debut, Jess Callans delivers a tender, queer coming of age story about finding your voice and choosing to live authentically, even when it's easier to blend in.

Puberty, AKA the ultimate biological predator, is driving a wedge between soon-to-be 13 year old Ollie Thompson and their lifelong friends. Too much of a girl for their neighborhood hockey team, but not girly enough for their boy-crazed BFF, Ollie doesn't know where they fit. And their usual ability to camouflage? Woefully disrupted by all the changes around them.

When a school project asks them to write an essay on what it means to be a woman (if anyone's got an answer, that'd be great), and one of their new friends is the target of bullying, Ollie is caught between the safety of fleeing from their own differences or confronting the risks of fighting to take their own path forward.

Praise for Ollie In Between:

"...An empathetic exploration of identity that will resonate with young readers carving out their own definition of self. Infused with equal amounts serious, topical conversation, and gently humorous observation, Ollie in Between is a middle grade classic in the making. " --A. J. Sass, award-winning author of Ellen Outside the Lines and Ana on the Edge

"Debut author Callans' confiding tone leans into Ollie's flummoxed first-person ruminations with rhetorical questions that probe moments of deep vulnerability and hope . . . . Clear echoes of Judy Blume couple with themes of social adaptation that rely a bit heavily on analogies to the animal kingdom, but a range of readers should relate to Ollie's sense of otherness. As Ollie puts it, 'Being yourself can hurt, ' but awkward and self-aware stories like Ollie's can help more tweens 'just be.' "
-- Booklist, starred review

"As endearing as it is hilarious, Ollie in Between is Jess Callans' laugh-out-loud debut about surviving the chaos of growing up and finding the courage to speak up for others, and, most importantly, yourself. This tender, queer coming-of-age tale shows how sometimes the only way to survive is to embrace your weird and choose your own path."
--Aiden Thomas, New York Times-bestselling author of Cemetery Boys

Overall good aesthetic result for mineral sunscreen, but some downsides
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It is quite good overall, it blends in perfectly to my medium-light warm tone skin. There is no white tint. It seems effective in terms of SFP and doesn't leave a greasy or heavy feel, ends up looking lightly glowy but reasonably dry to the touch. I'm not sure you'd want to apply it thick enough to substitute for foundation. What I don't like - Like makeup the color can rub off on clothes etc. - Doesn't seem to reapply very well, leads to pilling, and also rubbing my face at all leads to pilling. It's very "don't touch it again after you applied once" - Quite hard to remove with normal cleanser, I think I might need to remove it with oil or something?

Way too heavy & greasy for combination skin
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Ugh this tinted sunscreen is such a let-down. I was excited to find an option that's a mineral sunscreen, with tinting that's supposed to work for all skin tones, is made with non-comedogenic ingredients, and is a more reasonable price than what my old tinted sunscreen now costs. I saw mixed reviews on the greasiness / heaviness of this sunscreen, but decided to give it a try, especially because I have combo skin that gets pretty dry in the winter... but wish I had listened to the people who said this is overwhelmingly thick. Pros: the tint works fairly well for my light-to-medium warm-toned skin (although you can see in my video it doesn't blend at all well with my hand's skin tone... so can't imagine this will be universal), it doesn't irritate my combination skin that can be very sensitive, and hasn't blocked my pores. Cons: This feels like I'm smearing peanut butter on my face - it is such a thick and oily consistency. I have combination skin, with some areas that are especially dry right now in a northern winter climate... but this is not what I would call "moisturizing" - it's greasiness that is impossible to rub in, doesn’t dry down, and instead just sits on the skin (and I'm not even using close to the amount of sunscreen you're supposed to in order to get the true SPF coverage). I use tinted sunscreen to replace the need for a BB cream or foundation, and this unfortunately would never be appropriate for everyday wear.
