Annotation: Regan is faced with the difficult nature of dealing with her transgender brother "transition" into being a girl.
Summary: Regan has always felt that her brother Liam was different. In fact, he was transgender, and actually a girl. This was never, ever an issue for Regan. But now, Liam-who now goes by Luna-has decided to transition in public. For Regan, she never had a problem keeping the secret but now she has to accept it in public. Can she do it?
Evaluation: Finely written, touching, and shows how others around react to his change. Really illustrates the way in which we support the ones we love, or should I say, the true nature of our acceptance of the ones we love. Also, this books is reads fast and easy which makes it easy to put yourself and you own feeling into the book! Very, very good.
Bibliotherapeutic Usefulness: Transitioning and Transgender Issues
Reason this book was chosen: It's an award winning book that looks at the life of an ignored medical issue and makes you think twice about all gay and lesbian people and whether or not they "have a choice."
