Obie Is Man Enough by Schuyler Bailar

4.0

This is about Obie a young tween competitive swimmer who is also Korean American trans boy. We navigate as he is in eighth grade looking forward to Junior Olympics while also trying to avoid bullies and self doubt. He has a supportive family, supportive team,and teachers. He faces Clyde Bolton, former friend turned bully and old coach's son, who also kicked him off the team, and Lucy who friendship is dicy.

It's a feel good story with positive messaging and good support. Obie is privileged as he was able to get on puberty blockers and hormones as a tween. And has all around supportive family but he still faces issues.
