Riley Mays is in fifth grade. They love laughing and to make others laugh, they also love to draw. Their best friend moved away and now they must make new friends, especially if they’re going to talk their parents into art classes. This book is fantastic. In the beginning you didn’t know if Riley was a boy or a girl and it didn’t matter. You do find out about a fourth of the way through and that actually becomes part of the idea of this book. Who is Riley Mayes? Are they gay? Are they a lezbo? If they are will that ruin their life? Will they have friends still? Will that even matter? These are all questions that run through Riley‘s mind after being called a Lesbo. Riley realizes that maybe I am, maybe I’m not, but does it matter? This book was awesome. It fits a fifth grader so well. I think anybody could read this and learn something either about themselves or the people around them. I also think it shows that it is OK to not know who you are or be worried about who you are. If I had to compare this book to another, I would say this is gender queer for younger readers. It is not afraid to ask the questions and explore on levels appropriate for fifth grade. I loved absolutely everything about this book, however I am deathly afraid kids won’t be able to read it because of current book banning and book censorship problems in schools across our nation. Add to that problem Barnes & Noble only selling top notch authors this book could be hidden. Please don’t hide this book! Share it! Save it! Send it! Buy it! Use it! There are kids out there that need this book. And there are many people even if they do not need it will love it.
