This book is perfect! I've wanted to read it for a while after hearing about it on the Book Riot podcasts. It was refreshing to read a story written to include an audience of such a young age, as it is set to be a middle grade novel. But it is a great read for people of all ages, and I wish everyone would read this book! It was so well written, the author captured the feeling of being in elementary school quite perfectly. The descriptions looked like, smelled like, sounded like the way kids and schools and buses really feel like. My heart was warmed by this really important story about George. I'm glad there was a happy ending (or perhaps happy beginning) because I grew so attached to her that I would have been absolutely devastated if it had any other ending. I LOVE the character Kelly, George's best friend. What an absolutely amazing fourth grade friend to have. I also loved Kelly's theatrical personality. 
 This book was so well-written and also tells a story that is important to be told! It's sad to think about all the true stories about people like George which don't have a positive conclusion and supporting people around them. But I think this story is a beautifully written piece to add to the bigger picture of telling diverse stories. It was cool to read about the author and see that the Alex Gino is a part of the LGBTQ+ community, as it is great to see diversity in published authors too! 
 STRONGLY RECOMMEND this quick, fun, easy read, beautifully written but with a plot and characters that have left a lasting impression on me.
