Book Riot Read Harder challenge 2017-15: Read a YA or middle grade novel by an author who identifies as LGBTQ+.

Set against the conflict over busing to integrate schools in the mid '70s, the book throws all that over for its protagonist's individual struggle. Which I guess is exactly right for an adolescent, generally the most likely of anyone to be the center of the universe -- which I state well aware of the post in my own eye -- but it does mean that the author drops half the issue she started out with.
