But here he is, the tiny new kid on his first day of middle school.When his fellow students discover his remarkable talent for garbology, the science of studying trash to tell you anything you could ever want to know about a person, Hugo becomes the cool kid for the first time in his life. But what happens when it all goes to his head?

Girls, be ambitious! 從家庭、校園、感情、職場到社會，無處不在、無所不包性別議題，妳意識到了嗎？性別的刻板印象是怎麼形成的？想當全職主婦難道不行嗎？所謂的「女子力」其實是一種詛咒！？錯的明明是色狼，為何受害的女性還會被譴責？女性專用車廂算是一種逆向歧視嗎？身為女兒就應該負責照護年老的父母？女性求職路上陷阱一籮筐！？性別歧視是不是沒有終止的一天？‧東大名譽教授、《厭女》作者上野千鶴子最新力作‧完整收錄2019年度東京大學開學典禮致詞書中內容大大突破性別分野，我認為不分性別的青少年都該閱讀，若有父母因為沒有養育女兒就錯過這本書，那就太可惜了。……我們一定要相信自己擁有「覺得不對勁」的權利，而且不分性別，每個人都可以在不傷害別人的前提下自由選擇，過得自由自在。──諶淑婷（文字工作者／性平教育講師）這是一本為女孩而寫的書，家長、老師也應該看一看，沒有集合全宇宙的力量，要達成性別平權的目標，仍會走得跌跌撞撞。……上野教授以女性主義者及教育者的角度，為女孩寫下此書，社會不動，女孩自己動，一代一代地接力打造一個「任何人都不拘泥性別的社會」。──謝美娟（台灣性別平等教育協會理事長）身而為人，人人都擁有特定的一套生理條件，也必然會發展出與他人相同又不同的生命經驗──真正的重點只有一個，就是問清楚自己想要活出怎樣的人生？無論那是什麼色彩的人生，只要是全力以赴，必然光彩奪目，也必然會為其他女性帶來光芒，為年輕女孩的未來照見新的道路。──許菁芳（作家）2019年，日本東京大學名譽教授、女性主義者暨知名作家上野千鶴子以性別為切入點，在東大的開學典禮上向新生致詞，開頭便提及前一年（2018）東京醫科大學入學考試不公的醜聞──校方為了壓低女學生的錄取率，長期透過人為手法操縱分數使女考生落榜，消息曝光後，頓時輿論譁然。而這樣的歧視與不公平，正是日本女學生所置身的現實。至於貴為日本最高學府的東京大學，即便沒有這類性別歧視的黑箱作業，隱形的歧視仍舊無所不在。突破重重「男」關、考上東大的女學生比例出乎意料地只有兩成，東大男學生還會忌憚和自己一樣（甚至有過之而無不及）的優秀女生，只願意找崇拜東大生的外校女子大學生聯誼。在致詞中，上野教授更一針見血地指出，等在所有學生面前的，是「就算努力也得不到公正回報的社會」，不僅努力無法獲得回報，還有更多人（尤其是女性）會在發憤努力之前就被周遭的人潑
