Gino, A. (2015).
George. NY: Scholastic.
George, by Alex
Gino, is a novel that tells the story of a boy that knows he is not a boy. George can only be Melissa in the afternoon
before his mom or brother gets home.
Melissa can come out and look at girlie magazine, brush her hair and
dream of being herself. When George decides
to try out for the lead role in the school play Charlotte’s Web. George’s best friend, Kelly understands George
and comes up with a plan that George can be Charlotte. After her performance,
Ms Maldonado, the principal tells him that he did a great job. At the end of the story Kelly and George
(Melissa) get ready for their big day out and they go to the Bronx Zoo.
This was a hard book to
read because of the struggles George was going through. This book could be very important
for students who are struggling with their identity or have siblings that are
struggling. It is for mature audience,
maybe middle or high school campus.
