Did I enjoy reading this book? Yes, yes I did. And while yes, this is a book about the struggles of trans sixth grader, I also still expected it to be a novel of feminism and in a way it was, but the author attacked gender norms set for girls while encouraging the ones set for men. The MC just seemed to struggled off male stereotypes and issues way too easily (I just mean when the MC’s guy friend mentioned how dumb it was that he couldn’t wear a skirt to school and the MC laughed it off). I mean I guess 4⭐️?

A young trans boy, who hasn’t come out to anyone yet. Goes up against his school board and principle to make the dress code accessible for all. This is one of the best books I have ever read. It has amazing trans and disability representation in it. I cried, I laughed and I loved it.
