Review
Kuklin's thought provoking work of narrative nonfiction reveals first-hand accounts of transgender teens. The author interviewed youth from wide-ranging ethnic, religious, and socioeconomic groups. The participants chose whether or not to include their names and photographs. Their stories will encourage discussions of sexuality, gender identity, alienation, difference and compassion for grades 6 and up. Author's note, questions and answers from the Director of the Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, an introduction to Proud Theater, an LGBT organization, glossary and extensive resources appended. This book is recommended to the Cream of the Crop.
Overall Book Score: excellent
