Recommended reading for Banned Books Week! Although a lot of people have tried to ban this book, I hope that readers will approach it with an open mind and see if they can learn something from it. The ten-year-old protagonist George faces some tough problems related to gender dysphoria--perhaps some problems that you never thought of before. However, as you probably guessed from the bright, colorful cover, it is ultimately an upbeat book, and George achieves some important victories in it. Author Alex Gino does a good job showing how important it is to be true to yourself, which is a valuable lesson for anyone to learn.
