The Best at It by Maulik Pancholy

5.0

I've been looking for good middle grade books dealing with LGBTQ issues and saw this pop up in a number of places, and I want to hug it, it's so good. It feels like it deals with so many different things - racism, embarrassment about being different, trying to fit in, telling yourself/your friends/your family, anxiety - but somehow it all works. While not everyone will identify with struggling with admitting that you're gay, everyone will recognize and understand Rahul's desire to just fit in when everything about him seems different. When Rahul finally talks with his family, I actually cried and I don't cry much at books. Definitely adding it to our library.
