Publisher Comments

Be who you are.

When people look at George, they think they see a boy. But she knows she's not a boy. She knows she's a girl.

George thinks she'll have to keep this a secret forever. Then her teacher announces that their class play is going to be Charlotte's Web. George really, really, REALLY wants to play Charlotte. But the teacher says she can't even try out for the part...because she's a boy.

With the help of her best friend, Kelly, George comes up with a plan. Not just so she can be Charlotte — but so everyone can know who she is, once and for all.

Review

"Pair this important addition to the slender but growing body of transgender fiction with Ami Polonsky’s Gracefully Grayson." Booklist (Starred Review)

Review

"A coda to the Charlotte's Web story, in which George presents herself as a girl for the first time, is deeply moving in its simplicity and joy. Warm, funny, and inspiring." Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

Review

"Profound, moving, and — as Charlotte would say — radiant, this book will stay with anyone lucky enough to find it." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

Review

"A required purchase for any collection that serves a middle grade population." School Library Journal, (Starred Review)

Kathy Anderson , June 12, 2018 (view all comments by Kathy Anderson)
This book offers two rare opportunities: one is for someone (especially someone young) who feels that they are transgender to read about another person who shares their feelings and fears. The other is for all cisgender people, young and old, to gain some understanding of what being trans involves. I fell in love with George/Melissa, and I hope that this book, which has won awards and been included in the 2018 Battle of the Books, will continue to be widely read.
