The Shapeshifter's Guide to Gym Class by Kai Cheng ThomSeptember 1st 2026A thought provoking, coming of age fantasy, full of feeling and vibrant world building. Perfect for starting conversations with your middle schooler.I love a great story with a great message! You could say that this story is about a lot of different things.To name a few, it's a middle grade fantasy coming of age about self acceptance, found family, prejudices, trusting in yourself to make tough decisions, all while navigating friendships.All this to say, if you were looking for a conversation starter for your child or your classroom, this could be it!Thank you to @simonschusterca for the gifted ARC all opinions are entirely my own. #bookstagram #theshapeshiftersguidetogymclass #simonandschusterinfluencer #middlegradefantasy #childrensfiction
