520    "Welcome to an autobiography from another dimension. A 
       wildly inventive cartoonist begins her imaginary memoir--
       exploring the girlhood she never had. Many LGBTQ adults 
       look back on their youth and wonder: what might have been?
       Growing up "in the closet" tends to produce a sort of 
       double identity, between the inner self and the self seen 
       by the outside world. Now, cartoonist Axelle Lenoir, in 
       her unpredictable and imaginative way, makes this metaphor
       real. Secret Passages, narrated by the adult author, 
       begins with the death of her (male) "cosmic twin." From 
       there it launches into a rollicking ride of childhood 
       antics, set in 1985 small-town Québec. We get to know 
       Axelle (a rebellious little girl who dreads Grade 1 and is
       captivated by the spooky forest near the house), her 
       brothers (who share her off-the-charts enthusiasm for 
       cartoons and toys), and their long-suffering parents (who 
       may or may not be aliens). These lively comic-strip style 
       anecdotes, reminiscent of Calvin & Hobbes and packed full 
       of pop-culture parodies, are juxtaposed with surreal 
       twists as Axelle's existential crisis mutates the 
       narrative, building to a mind-bending climax."--Amazon
