About this listen

'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.
