Dear Mothman: A Novel
English
By (author): Robin Gow
Winner, LGBTQ+ Middle Grade Lammy Award (Lambda Literary Award)
Robin Gows acclaimed middle grade novel in verse about a young trans boy dealing with the loss of his friend by writing to his favorite cryptid, Mothman
Moving and lyrical, Dear Mothman is a story about finding belonging and hope in the most unexpected places.
A few months ago, Noahs best friend and the only other trans boy in his school, Lewis, passed away in a car accident. Feeling lost and alone, Noah starts writing letters to Mothman, Lewiss favorite cryptid, wondering if he would understand how Noah feels.
At first, Noah isnt sure whether he actually believes in Mothmannot like Lewis did. But when strange things start to happen around his wooded home, Noah wonders whether there might be something to the stories.
He decides to make his science fair project about Mothman, despite his teachers urging to study something real. As Noahs mind begins to open, so does his world. He makes friends with a group of girls in his grade and finally feels like he belongs.
But most people are not so accepting, and he has no evidence to prove that Mothman exists. With the science fair looming closer, Noah decides to risk everything, trek into the woods, and find Mothman himself.
A hauntingly moving examination of grief, friendship, and identity, reminiscent of my favorite classics. Robin Gow has a magic with words, stirring and shining a light on the deepest of emotions, leaving behind goosebumps (and tears) for Noahs story. This book is a gift.
