Publisher's summary
'This is Littlehaven. Nothing ever happens here. Until the spotlight hits my family.'
Izzy's family is under the spotlight when her dad comes out as Danielle, a trans woman. Izzy is terrified her family will be torn apart. Will she lose her dad? Will her parents break up? And what will people at school say? Izzy's always been shy, but now all eyes are on her. Can she face her fears, find her voice and stand up for what's right?
Content warning: in Nothing Ever Happens Here, the narrator, Izzy, initially struggles to understand and accept her dad's transition. Listeners should be aware that there is some misgendering and discriminatory language used towards the start of the book, as this expresses Izzy's (and other characters') understanding at that point in the story. As Izzy's reactions change and her awareness grows, the language changes to reflect this.

Story
Olivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over. Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising their beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined that she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in and taking over her father’s beekeeping business. Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start.

Story
August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. Beginning from Auggie’s point of view and expanding to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others, the perspectives converge to form a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.

Story
Sam Jones and Zoe Miller have one thing in common: they both want an escape from reality. Loner Sam flies under the radar at school and walks on eggshells at home to manage her mom’s obsessive-compulsive disorder, wondering how she can ever leave to pursue her dream of studying aerospace engineering. Popular, people-pleasing Zoe puts up walls so no one can see her true self: the girl who was abandoned as an infant, whose adoptive mother has cancer, and whose disabled brother is being sent away to live in a facility.

A Great Message for Everyone
I'm a 47 year old man and this story still enjoyed this story. It's obviously for younger readers, but the message is clear. It asks some hard questions and deals with them very well. I'm recommending to everyone regardless of age. This work is important.

Outstanding story
This should be a must read for those who are going through transition, especially if there is an immediate family involved. It is also a great book to teach tolerance, love, humanity and patience. Very well written!

Important topic in a perfectly lovely short story
I chose this Free short story basically knowing nothing about it, because I was out of credits. Haha. What a delightful surprise. The disclaimer in the preface almost put me off. I thought it might be to medically gruesome for me. But as I said, out of stories so I started it on a drive.
The author, reader and non- fiction topic were so thoughtfully put together. I would suggest it as a must read for middle schoolers, but unfortunately the US is going backwards with education. Great job Sarah Hagger-Holt

Charming and inclusive
It's nice to see a story that includes a Trans parent. I can't wait to recommend this to my 14 year old daughter. I applaud the courage of the author and look forward to a time when this is just a teen drama rather than a Trans book. Well done!

Great story line
This story truly helps you to understand the family values you need to have just in life in general. This helped me understand the Trans world and what they are going through so much more! Thank you for writing and publishing this story!
