I couldn't put this down!
As the mother of a transgender teen, I'm constantly trying to find books that include them, but there aren't many around yet. Hopefully this changes.
What happens to Chris to cause him to spend the summer with his aunt is probably my biggest fear. I will always live in fear that my child will be targeted for simply being himself.
I'm glad Chris was able to get passed it. I'm glad Maia was understanding when she found out his secret. The ending could have been better, but not every relationship is "happily ever after," and it's important for children to see that. I'm glad Chris and Maia were able to end on good terms, and they were both what the other needed at the time.
