I was a little nervous about this one because as far as I can tell, this isn't an #ownvoices book and I'm kind of tired of cis authors writing trans stories. I'm glad I gave this a chance. I ended up reading it straight through; I couldn't put it down. I loved the characters, the representation (trans MC, family with two moms, and secondary character with a disability), the story, and especially the hopefulness! There is no objectification via inspiration or tragedy. I am close to a few middle school age genderqueer/trans kids, and everything about this book mirrors their thinking and their moxie, as well as the challenges they face.
Be sure to read Nicole's review of The Pants Project, too.
