	B has lived with so many different foster families and youth programs that they have to invent nicknames for them to keep track. Their parents died in a car accident when they were four, and they've been moved around ever since. And even though some foster families don't really get B or why they haven't picked a new name yet (though B has been grappling with that for a while), B tries their best to stay positive. They try to keep a list of names that might fit, and they dream of being able to live in a home where they could adopt a dog and teach him all sorts of tricks. So when they meet Gooseberry, they know they have to adopt him and give him a loving home.
	


	But training a dog isn't as easy as B first suspected. Gooseberry is anxious and barely even wants to let B pet him. But the queer couple B is staying with, Eri and Jodie, help them to adopt Gooseberry and start training him. Even when Gooseberry snaps and growls, B doesn't give up. But is this new home enough to change things for good for B and Gooseberry?
	


	Moving, heartwarming, and full of hope, Gooseberry is a friendship story classic in the making!]]></description><link>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C16978159</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C16978159</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gow, Robin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/16978159981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798868784385/MC.GIF&amp;client=austinpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gooseberry]]></title><description><![CDATA[Robin Gow's “Gooseberry” is a moving middle-grade novel about a young nonbinary person searching for family and finding it with a sweet rescue dog.

There's a lot twelve-year-old B doesn't know, like what their new name should be after coming out as nonbinary. Or what it would feel like to finally feel at home after moving around to different foster families for years. But there's one thing B does know: they want to be a dog trainer when they grow up. And when they meet Gooseberry, a feisty stray dog who seems as wary of strangers as B does, B feels an instant connection. With Gooseberry, B could have everything they want: a family of their own, and a dog to train. And B's newest foster parents agree to let B adopt him.
But training a dog isn't as easy as B expected. Gooseberry is anxious and barely lets B pet him, let alone train him. Will Gooseberry ever feel at ease with B? And how can B teach Gooseberry to trust, when they know so little about trust themself?

“Gooseberry” is a heartwarming story by the acclaimed author of Dear Mothman about finding family, finding hope, and-most of all-finding and accepting yourself.]]></description><link>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C16853708</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C16853708</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gow, Robin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/16853708981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781647008215/MC.GIF&amp;client=austinpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ode to My First Car]]></title><description><![CDATA[A YA contemporary sapphic romance told in verse, by the critically praised author of A Million Quiet Revolutions, about a bisexual teen girl who falls in and out of love over the course of one fateful summer.

-School Library Journal, starred review

A moving middle-grade novel in verse, about a young trans boy dealing with the loss of his friend by writing to his favorite cryptid, Mothman

Halfway through sixth grade, Noah's best friend and the only other trans boy in his school, Lewis, passed away in a car accident. Lewis was adventurous and curious, always bringing a new paranormal story to share with Noah. Together they daydreamed about cryptids and shared discovering their genders and names. After his death, lonely and yearning for someone who could understand him like Lewis once did, Noah starts writing letters to Mothman, wondering if he would understand how Noah feels and also looking for evidence of Mothman's existence in the vast woods surrounding his small Poconos town. Noah becomes determined to make his science fair project about Mothman, despite his teachers and parents urging him to make a project about something "real."

Meanwhile, as Noah tries to find Mothman, Noah also starts to make friends with a group of girls in his grade, Hanna, Molly, and Alice, with whom he'd been friendly, but never close to. Now, they welcome him, and he starts to open up to each of them, especially Hanna, who Noah has a crush on. But as strange things start to happen and Noah becomes sure of Mothman's existence, his parents and teachers don't believe him. Noah decides it's up to him to risk everything, trek into the woods, and find Mothman himself.]]></description><link>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C15853066</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C15853066</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gow, Robin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/15853066981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781669662013/MC.GIF&amp;client=austinpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dear Mothman]]></title><description><![CDATA[A moving middle-grade novel in verse, about a young trans boy dealing with the loss of his friend by writing to his favorite cryptid, Mothman
