get it out of my head… Joe with an E encourages the
reader to explore questions about gender, identity,
family and belonging all through a page-turning
adventure. The world of the book is both similar

disorientingly real and supremely relevant.’

the island, where there’s a secret community of others
like him. The perilous journey to get there isn’t the end
of Joe’s troubles. It’s just the start.
