A sensitive and sweet portrayal of a 12 year old who has a secret: "he" is a girl on the inside. There are so few books about being transgender, and I was delighted to find this one for upper-middle grade that was positive and yet honest--really, it would even be suitable for middle grade. There is no sexuality, no language, no romance...just the yearning this young person feels to be a different gender. Poignant and powerful. I plan on reading this with my children soon.
