Parrotfish by Ellen Wittlinger

Interest Level: Young Adult
Reading Level: 4.7
Lexile: 790
Genre: Realistic Fiction 

Currently on pg. 52, chapter 5

Angela knew his whole life that he was a boy. Now he is a junior in high school and changed his name to Grady, he must deal with the reactions of others. His parents, siblings, and best friend at this point in the story are not supportive.

He has just met Sebastian, a geeky classmate. The dust cover of the book tells us that Sebastian will become an unlikely friend to Grady.

I am already getting the vibe that this will not be appropriate for the middle school library but I will continue to read it to make sure. Perhaps I will have found another recommendation for the high school.
