Review Quotes: "Strong-willed, introspective Liv is a likable and relatable protagonist; in many ways he's like most tweens, navigating friendships, his own identity, and his relationships at home. Supported by his two moms, Liv tries various methods of protest (wearing pants under the skirt, organizing a petition); he doesn't get any traction, however, until he makes some new friends, and they join the cause... this is a touching novel on a timely subject." -- The Horn Book Magazine
