Meet Nevo: girl, boy, he, she, him, her, they, them, daughter, son, teacher, student, friend, gay, bi, lesbian, trans, homo, Jew, dyke, masculine, feminine, androgynous, queer. Nevo was not born in the wrong body. Nevo just wants everyone to catch up with all that Nevo is. Personal, political and passionate, Finding Nevo is an autobiography about gender and everything that comes with it.

Nevo identifies as queer, transmasculine and non-binary. Nevo works with children as a youth leader, and runs programs and workshops in schools about gender and sexuality.

“A gorgeous coming of age story about one person’s journey to discover themselves. Zisin is a compelling storyteller with a delightful and exciting new voice.” Clementine Ford

This is a timely book and important book. The controversy over the Safe Schools program has reinforced the need for issues surrounding gender and sexuality to be discussed openly.
