Finished the book
I went in search of a book(s) for the middle school library that has a transgender lead character. This book is about a fourth grade boy named George and her desire to have the world see her as she truly is, a girl. The author's use of pronouns is wonderful. While the world interacts with George as a boy, Gino's use of pronouns reinforces that George sees herself as a girl. Gino does an excellent job of making you love George and route for her happiness. I am adding this book to my must buy this.
