5.0

An uplifting, gripping book that I think has wide appeal to lots of tweens.  While Obie encounters transphobia and bullying, sometimes graphically described, it is his security in his own identity and the strength of his community that shines through.  Plus a killer swim competition which I’m always a sucker for in books.
