Middle-grade superstar author Alex Gino returns to the world they began with MELISSA and RICK with GREEN, the story of a non-binary middle-schooler named Green who comes into their own in no small part by fighting for gender-free casting in their school’s production of THE WIZARD OF OZ.

Critic reviews

"Alex Gino offers a warm, effervescent narration of their latest middle-grade audiobook.... Gino's voicing of curious, generous Green as they navigate puberty and test the boundaries of their own and others' professed identities is profoundly compassionate and resolutely affirming.... Gino's narration carries the day, creating a cozy, accepting world listeners won't want to leave." (AudioFile)

Excellent new LGBT youth book in the Melissa series by Alex Gino!

This is the third book the Melissa series about her nonbinary friend Green from her middle school's LGBT club, their school puts on The Wizard of Oz in this book! It's a SUPER wholesome, educational, and motivational read for LGBT tweens, teens, their parents and allies. As a nonbinary lesbian and parent myself, I highly recommend it...it makes me feel very happy and validated that the youth have books with diverse characters like this to enjoy! 😁

Great!

Great book. I like how it connects to the books Rick and especially the Melissa book. I would recommend.
