All of the books are set in the fictional Southern town of Clover City. Murphy is a master at developing characters with unique voices and desires, as evidenced by the earlier two books in this trilogy that concludes with Pumpkin.
Waylon observes as he heads to the school nurse’s office with a churro, “Sure, being made fun of behind my back doesn’t exactly fill me with joy, but if being the teacher’s pet saves me from merciless lunchroom politics, swirlies, black eyes, and boys chock-full of toxic masculinity, I’ll gladly do my time.” Fat and openly gay, Waylon Brewer navigates a world of high school bullies and social hierarchies by keeping himself apart from his peers, making friends with the school nurse and hanging out with his grandmother and twin sister, Clementine. Her latest book, Pumpkin, is no exception. Young adult author Julie Murphy specializes in novels about colorful characters who seek to find their passion and their tribe.
