"A vital read that celebrates the power of true authenticity."

"Clear echoes of Judy Blume."
-Booklist, starred review

In his debut, Jess Callans delivers a tender, queer coming of age story about finding your voice and choosing to live authentically, even when it's easier to blend in.

Puberty, AKA the ultimate biological predator, is driving a wedge between soon-to-be 13 year old Ollie Thompson and their lifelong friends. Too much of a girl for their neighborhood hockey team, but not girly enough for their boy-crazed BFF, Ollie doesn't know where they fit. And their usual ability to camouflage? Woefully disrupted by all the changes around them.

When a school project asks them to write an essay on what it means to be a woman (if anyone's got an answer, that'd be great), and one of their new friends is the target of bullying, Ollie is caught between the safety of fleeing from their own differences or confronting the risks of fighting to take their own path forward.

Praise for Ollie In Between:

"...An empathetic exploration of identity that will resonate with young readers carving out their own definition of self. Infused with equal amounts serious, topical conversation, and gently humorous observation, Ollie in Between is a middle grade classic in the making. " --A. J. Sass, award-winning author of Ellen Outside the Lines and Ana on the Edge

"Debut author Callans' confiding tone leans into Ollie's flummoxed first-person ruminations with rhetorical questions that probe moments of deep vulnerability and hope . . . . Clear echoes of Judy Blume couple with themes of social adaptation that rely a bit heavily on analogies to the animal kingdom, but a range of readers should relate to Ollie's sense of otherness. As Ollie puts it, 'Being yourself can hurt, ' but awkward and self-aware stories like Ollie's can help more tweens 'just be.' "
-- Booklist, starred review

"As endearing as it is hilarious, Ollie in Between is Jess Callans' laugh-out-loud debut about surviving the chaos of growing up and finding the courage to speak up for others, and, most importantly, yourself. This tender, queer coming-of-age tale shows how sometimes the only way to survive is to embrace your weird and choose your own path."
--Aiden Thomas, New York Times-bestselling author of Cemetery Boys

Great!
Color: 2-Pack White, Color: 2-Pack White
I wish I’d have taken a before photo. But imagine a bunch of spices, on a little spice shelf that makes a U formation and a bunch of spices in the middle. So many spices. So much maneuvering to find the right one. This- this is great! Organized, easy to see, reach. Neat. Excellent investment. It doesn’t even look like I have a lot in there, but I have 46 spices in there! And you’ll notice my cabinet has a lip. Easily fixed with a small piece of wood to raise the item.

Well thought out and easy to install
Color: 2-Pack Black, Color: 2-Pack Black
Definitely organizes and maximizes cabinet space for spice storage. It’s a little rickety. If you are using glass spice jars you will likely need to use the included screws into the cabinet because the double face tape it comes with might not hold up. It might work with the plastic spice containers, but even then it seems like it would not be sturdy enough to hold the weight. The instructions were clear and it installed quickly. If it lasts, it was definitely a value upgrade in my cabinet.

Don't buy the other brands
Color: 2-Pack Black
I'd give these a 10 if I could. I bought another version but returned ii because I didn't think it was very sturdy. These were only $8 more and what a difference. They are a very well made and a lot more sturdy. The extra $8 was a real bargain and well worth it.

Great for short people to see and retrieve spices from upper shelf! Holds a lot of weight easily!
Color: 2-Pack Black
These spice racks were very easy to install in my cabinets. Actually, I have only used the adhesive, and they are holding all of the weight of the spices without any issue! These are remarkably heavy duty. I am short (5"3") and most of the second shelf is not really very useable without a stool. I can pull these out and turn the racks making all of them visible and easy to reach! I have two and I'm seriously considering ordering more! It makes organizing a breeze too!
