I don't think this is my favorite book from Kyle Lukoff, but it has some really stellar moments throughout the book. Lukoff doesn't shy away from the difficult stuff for a middle grade audience, and I appreciate that. Especially for an audience that is familiar with how dark the world can be. At the end, A emphasizes that he really just wants to be able to be himself, and even if he changes his mind in the future, that's what being a teenager is. All teenagers are just trying to figure out who they are, and trans teens are no different.

Some of the dialogue does feel a bit clunky at times in this, which is why I didn't give it a full five stars. But all of the Jewish mythology included was really interesting, and I definitely recommend reading Lukoff's letter at the end of the book. 

This book is going to be really important for a lot of teenagers, especially in a climate where their identity is constantly being targeted. I hope it finds its way into the hands of those that need it.
