Key Selling Points
- Lo's best friend is leaving her behind for makeup, boys, and bras, while Lo wants to stick to her comics and Doctor Who ; luckily, she finds some new friends who support her as she is and help her find her voice as an advocate and activist.
- Lo Simpson Starts a Revolution takes on the adolescent experiences of growing apart in a friendship, finding new friends, allowing yourself the space to grow up at your own pace and having the strength to stand up for what's right, even when the issue doesn't directly affect you.
- From a more political perspective, this book explores gender equality, consent and menstrual hygiene rights, as Lo finds herself confronted with these issues in her middle-school milieu.
- Author Melanie Florence is a huge Doctor Who fan (she has a Doctor Who tattoo!), which inspired her to write Lo as one too; Lo pens letters to the Tenth Doctor throughout the book and uses his brave acts and words of wisdom for inspiration.
- Melanie Florence is the author of such books as Stolen Words (which won the Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Book Award), Missing Nimâmâ (which won the TD Canadian Children's Book Award) and The Missing .
