I am participating in the Trans Rights Readathon (March, 2023) and wanted to read a variety of genres that focus on Trans and Non-Binary characters and authors. Part of that is select a few middle grade books. I was didn’t know much about this book going into it but I’m so happy to have read this and to know that children are growing up with amazing representation in books like this. Bug is stuck in that strange period of time when you are still a kid but becoming a teen is right around the corner. I found it super realistic that Bug doesn’t fully grasp their feelings until the end of the book. Some kids just need more time making those steps and fully feeling confident and comfortable with who they are. This book was incredible and I can’t wait to tell more people to read it.
