🌈 The Fights That Make Us by Sarah Hagger-Holt 🌈
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book had both rage and joy coursing through my veins. An important read for young people who may never have heard of Section 28 nor be aware of its impact. Eye-opening maybe for those who do not realise that this fight still continues for those of us who identify as LGBTQ+.
Jesse’s passion for their exhibition is inspiring and the only real downside for me is that I can’t see it for myself! Jesse’s parents are brilliant and their friendship with Simran really warmed my heart.
I particularly enjoyed how this flirted back and forth between Jesse and Lisa’s timelines which really allowed the reader to draw comparisons and similarities between their stories.
“Change only happens if you do something to make it happen”
An inspiring, thought-provoking read that I’ll want to throw into the hands of all the young people I teach.
Thank you to Usborne, Sarah Hagger-Holt and NetGalley for my early review copy in exchange of a fair and honest review.
