Super cute middle grade -- I haven't read middle grade in forever but I'm very happy stories like this exist.

Loved this coming-of-age story about transgender tween Obie. There are some really tough scenes in the book but Obie is surrounded by supportive parents and teachers. There's also a little romance, which I loved. The authors end notes are great. Hopeful.
