Trevor is an exuberant, sociable and witty 13-year-old. So why, when he takes that nerve-wrecking turn toward his locker at school, does he feel scared and alone? He is shunned by his friends, misunderstood by his parents and harassed at school for being different. Trevor mixes humour and realism in an urgent look at what it is like to feel alienated. And, more importantly, what critical ties can step in at the most unlikely moment, to save people from despair and give them the reason to go on living.

Industry Reviews

"Lecesne has updated Trevor's world from the original story, incorporating modern elements like Gaga and Facebook while still maintaining the innocence and optimism that makes the teen so lovable and sympathetic." -Daily Xtra

"A beautiful, moving, funny, original book is rare at any time. A beautiful, moving, funny, original book that can dramatically alter young lives arrives about as often as the blooming of the century plant. Trevor is not only a remarkable book, it's an important book." -Michael Cunningham

"Lecesne nails Trevor's personality and voice, a combination of self-assuredness, sharp humor, and enthusiasm. The author also contributes pencil drawings that are as affecting as the prose; the gentleness of his shading echoes Trevor's softness, which the world is more than ready to harden." -Publishers Weekly

"Trevor is important because its protagonist does not represent a single character, but serves as a vessel for the joy, despair, and alienation that LGBTQ youth can encounter every day at school and at home." -Porter Square Books Blog

"Trevor's story is ot a sad, cautionary tale-it's about love and resilience." -Teen Vogue
