Deals with a ton of gender and body dismorphia, and shows that just because someone is trans doesn't mean they always make the best decisions for the whole community.

I thought this book was a fun read. Zen is a charming character to cheer for, and I liked how the narration was written to give readers a close look at her racing mind. A few times I felt like the writing was awkward, especially in the first chapter, but overall I felt like the style was well suited to the character. #LGBTQ #MiddleGrade

📚 The gist 📚: Zen deals with the social pressures of middle school with the added pressure of gender dysphoria and grief. When a hacker attacks vulnerable groups through the school website, Zen puts her strong computer skills to work!
