Nevo Zisin is a 20-year-old activist, student, writer and public speaker with a particular focus on issues surrounding gender, sex and sexuality. Assigned female at birth, Nevo has had a complex relationship with gender, transitioning to present as male at the age of 17, undergoing different medical interventions and now identifying outside of a female / male gender binary. They work particularly with children as a youth leader and through running programs and workshops in schools. They are also a contact point in the Jewish community for other children and families confronting issues of gender and sexuality in their own lives. Finding Nevo is their first book.
A gorgeous coming of age story about one person’s journey to
discover themselves. Zisin is a compelling storyteller with a
delightful and exciting new voice.

Finding Nevo is an honest, enlightening story of one person’s quest
to understand who they are, and to overcome the prejudices and
pressures which that can entail.
*Aussie Reviews*
Could not put it down!...What a beautiful story from such a young
author. Nevo's combination of raw honesty and heartfelt memories
come to life in this magnificent recollection of their life so far.
A good read for anyone with an open mind and an open heart.

Finding Nevo is not a tragedy. It is a positive book filled with
clever humour and an endearing enthusiasm. Nevo is unapologetic
about their identity and what it means, they’re also insightful and
empathetic towards their family and community’s experiences.
*Gilly Reads*
This book, to me, is one that should exist as a learning tool for
people who aren’t queer and want to learn about queer identities,
and queer people who are struggling to find a label or identity
that fits with who they are.
*Delicate Eternity*
I really liked Finding Nevo and I think Nevo is an amazing person
for being so honest and willing to share their story with everyone.
I’m sure this book will help a lot of people. I cannot recommend
this book enough. It has stayed with me since I finished it and I
think that’s the sign of an amazing book.
*My Life in Books*
This is a truly amazing book that we would recommend to everyone
without a doubt.
*A Pocket Full of Pages*
If this book supports those going along the same path as Nevo and
helps others empathise with those going through this process, then
it has done its job. And done it well.
