"Gephart has written a story that will speak not just to one specific community, but to humanity as a whole." --VOYA For readers who enjoyed Wonder and Counting by 7's, award-winning author Donna Gephart crafts a compelling dual narrative about two remarkable young people: Lily, a transgender girl, and Dunkin, a boy dealing with bipolar disorder. Their powerful story will shred your heart, then stitch it back together with kindness, humor, bravery, and love.Lily Jo McGrother, born Timothy McGrother, is a girl. But being a girl is not so easy when you look like a boy. Especially when you're in the eighth grade. Dunkin Dorfman, birth name Norbert Dorfman, is dealing with bipolar disorder and has just moved from the New Jersey town he's called home for the past thirteen years. This would be hard enough, but the fact that he is also hiding from a painful secret makes it even worse. One summer morning, Lily Jo McGrother meets Dunkin Dorfman, and their lives forever change. * 2017 Southern Book Award Winner--Juvenile Category

"Gephart sympathetically contrasts the physical awkwardness, uncertainty, and longings of these two outsiders during a few tightly-plotted months, building to a crescendo of revelation... A] valuable portrait of two teenagers whose journeys are just beginning."--PW "This would be a fantastic addition to any middle grade library collection, and is highly recommended for all ages."--VOYA "Lily and Dunkin is a delight. Here's a book for anyone who's ever struggled with being different--or anyone who's ever loved someone who bears the burden of difference. . . .

good toy for heavy chewers
Color: Blue Shark, Size: Medium
My dog loves this toy. It is tough and has a nice squeak. The only thing that bothers me a bit (it doesn't bother the dog) is the plastic tail gets rough with the chewing.

Just buy it!!!!
Color: Blue Shark, Size: Medium, Color: Blue Shark, Size: Medium
5 stars so far! My beefy boy is obsessed with this toy. He’s a TOUGH chewer. It fits perfectly in his mouth and it’s definitely tough! Feels thick & sturdy, has no weird smell. He loves the squeaker and he’s been (trying) to tear it up non stop since I gave it to him! Lol. He wore himself out. Definitely ordering more. Love the different animals !

Durable and fun toy
Color: Blue Shark, Size: Medium
My granddog really likes this toy. He is a pit bull mix. The middle is where the squeaker is. Toy is hard plastic and he chewed on it a long time. No damage to toy! The only reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5 is how loud it is bouncing on wood floors. The toy I do recommend. Good size and bright blue color fish.

TRULY INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!
Color: Blue Shark, Size: Medium, Color: Blue Shark, Size: Medium
This toy is truly indestructible. I have purchased several toys over the past few months, all have been detroyed except for this one. It may not look as pretty now but it is still intact and still squeaks. I highly recommend for anyone with truly aggressive chewers.

Make sure you get this brand. The look alikes are trash!
Very durable and fun! My Pitbull chews on this constantly and loves to have treats or peanut butter, put in the bottom of it as an extra treat. A friend of mine bought a similar looking toy that was destroyed by her pitbull in moments. This one is better quality and has stood the test of this power chewer. The rubber is very thick and he chews it constantly but it stays in tact. It is soft enough to squeak if he gets a hold of it just right, but that’s the rare treat. The size is perfect for my 80 pound boy. I am also able to throw these toys in his pool for him to dive for them. Definitely in great value for the price.
