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.
Ein schönes Buch. Ich hätte zwar gerne gewusst, wie die Geschichte weitergeht, vor allem mit dem Arschloch Jeff, aber vielleicht wäre das dann auch ein bissken viel geworden. Erstmal Mut machen. Ich denke, das ist schon richtig so.
Absolutely wonderful read. This was one of several books on my daughters summer reading list. I decided to read it, along with some of the others on the list. I like that this, along with a growing list of other authors, she is getting an exposure much earlier than I did to diverse perspectives and experiences. Being able to have terminology and definitions to help you understand your own or others experiences and feelings is something I didn't not have growing up.
If you think YA or pre-teen books are just for kids, they are not, you can and should pick them up - whether you have kids or not.
