Stonewall is dense with information within a short amount of pages, and tells the story of the Stonewall riots, the AIDS crisis, the period of peace between the two, and the 2010's fight for marriage equality in an engaging narrative format. It took a bit to get through, and  though it was a solid read, I wish it was longer with more density of information and first hand accounts on the time periods discussed after the stonewall riot.  It's gotten me interested in the period after the Stonewall riot, but before the AIDS crisis. It's a good introduction to queer history for middle grade and young adult readers, which is exactly it's purpose.
