sara_m_martins 's review for:

The Other Boy by M.G. Hennessey
4.0

this was very well done, in my perspective; Disclaimer, i'm cisgender, so i could be wrong. i have looked into the reviews to see what people from the trans community were saying and overall it's seems like the portrayal was okay albeit, obviously, of a singular story, and some aspects still raise some questions with some people.
i think it would be a great tool for middle grade audiences to be introduced into the subject. education is an immensely important step in creating compassion, understanding, support and respect, and has always been a cornerstone in LGTBQ activism. i believe this book is an excellent tool for that, and, furthermore, to make trans kids feel less alone
