Praise for Saber-Tooth

A weird, magical, beautiful book.
Nicole Melleby, author of How to Become a Planet, The Science of Being Angry, Camp QUILTBAG, and more

"Sabertooth is a gorgeous queer middle grade with a big bite that teaches young readers how to process their big complicated feelings within a fun, high stakes adventure about an autistic trans boy, a sentient sabertooth fossil, and a community of fellow misfits. A true gem for anyone who has ever felt angry and alone."
Taylor Tracy, Stonewall Honor-winning author of Murray Out of Water

I could not put this book down— Saber-Tooth is a masterfully written, page-turning, lyrical explosion of a novel. Gow writes for those of us who are perpetually unearthing our loneliness and rage, looking for meaning, love, and connection. A thrilling, gorgeous, and adventure packed testament to the resilience, love, and power of Trans and queer youth. Dig dig dig, dear readers! What beautiful terrors and delights await us as we witness the world through Jasper’s eyes.
Mariama J. Lockington, Stonewall Honor and Schneider Family Book Award winning author of In the Key of Us, Forever is Now, and For Black Girls Like Me.

***STARRED REVIEW***"Gow returns with another moving novel in verse that tests the boundaries of reality...A thrilling and emotional read."
Horn Book Magazine
