This is my second book on the subject of transgender stories for teens. The other one being If I could be your girl. This time it's about a girl who knows she's a boy. First, I shall say this is a good book because I think it's an important subject. I had a student 15 years ago that I believe she believed herself to be a boy. As a teacher, I was lost because it was new territory for me. Second I should mention that there is bullying behavior, some violence target towards our main character and there are some harsh words of unkindness. These words and actions are a part of the story that is used to make the life believable. I think it is a good book and an important book. I would say read the book before you put it in your library so you are aware of the content. It's an good read.
