Meryl Blomseth: George by Alex Gino

George will steal your heart.

George has a secret that can not be contained. She is a girl, born into a boy's body. No one knows. Not even her best friend, Kelly. The two fourth graders are BFFs and when their teacher announces try outs for the Charlotte's Web production, they spend hours practicing for the auditions. George is finally feeling herself as she rehearses the lines in the company of her best friend.The story continues as George's life completely changes as she starts sharing who she is with her loved ones. It is a wild ride of heart thumping anticipation and depicts a window into the world of what it is like for the young transgender community.

I absolutely love this book. It's the kind you could read in one or two sittings. Totally charming and fulfilling. This book shows the power of love and true friendship, the kind of relentless love, acceptance, and support.
