A history of the Stonewall Riots along with the fight for LGBTQ rights.
This is by the far the worst book in this series. I felt like I got nothing from it. The whole time traveling with a bird was such a bizarre choice on how to tell the story. I thought this would be more moving and emotional, but it just comes off like a very quick, boring history lesson. There should have been more details on the people participating in the Riots and the movement. I wanted to know their stories and struggles. Even the section talking about the AIDS epidemic just gave random facts with no heart.
Overall, a really disappointing, bland story about an important moment and movement in time.
