Trans Mission: My Quest to a Beard
by Alex Bertie
Choosing not to rate this because I was very much not the target audience, so my lack of enjoyment isn't really indicative of the quality here. I knew this was YA, but I really thought it was a memoir. Turned out to be a little closer to self help or a how to guide, with chapters on things like dealing with bullies. Which is totally fine, I think this book would be a great fit at a middle or high school library, but it definitely wasn't written for a 30 year old cis woman.
I did enjoy the parts about his life and his personal story. A lot of the information on being trans was incredibly basic, but I do think it's largely intended for kids who are just beginning to figure out their gender, so that's fine.
I would definitely recommend this for younger trans teens and parents/teachers of trans teens, but there's probably just not enough here for the average reader.
