Review:

I don’t think I can rate this book. It seems so personal to the Trans experience that I don’t want to touch it with a rating. The writing was really well done and even though it was a kids book the characters were great. I do feel like there could have been a little more conflict but it really wasn’t bad. I loved how happy Melissa was by the end. Great book and I’m glad children have these types of books to read.

Synopsis From Book:

BE WHO YOU ARE. When people look at George, they think they see a boy. But she knows she's not a boy. She knows she's a girl. George thinks she'll have to keep this a secret forever. Then her teacher announces that their class play is going to be Charlotte's Web. George really, really, REALLY wants to play Charlotte. But the teacher says she can't even try out for the part... because she's a boy. With the help of her best friend, Kelly, George comes up with a plan. Not just so she can be Charlotte—but so everyone can know who she is, once and for all.
