A review by robynthereader
Green Eyes and Ham by Mary Penney

5.0

Such a wonderful book! I love that this is not just "am I queer?" but also "how do I navigate having new friends?" and "what do I do about bullies?" The age range is 8-12 year olds, but the novel focuses on Ham, a 13 year old boy going to public school for the first time. I think this book is great for younger kids, but also plan to add to my 8th grade shelves in the fall. Ham is incredibly relateable, but I wish we got to know his mom and adopted grandfather much more as well.
