Read for the Trans Rights Readathon and for my personal goal to read at least 12 banned/challenged books this year. A really sweet—and sometimes heartbreaking—middle grade novel about a young trans girl striving to make herself known for who she really is. I respect Gino a lot for writing a book on this topic that’s informative without being overly didactic or losing sight of telling an engaging and affirming story, especially given that this came out almost 10 years ago. While it certainly only represents one type of trans experience, I think it’s a representation that’s valuable and should be accessible to kids.
