Audiobook version. I enjoyed this book and loved the characters. I think this book would be great for middle grade/school kids who can do a bit more information gathering to better understand the 1980’s and part of the storyline that may be difficult to understand. Beautiful book about found families, the difficult relationships we can have with our biological families, and being true to one’s identity, in spite of others’ prejudice and fear.
