Review by Brynn Haley, grade 10
Luna is about a transgendered teen struggling to come out as what he really is- a girl. Liam was born with a male body, but all his life has felt he is a girl, born with the wrong body.
Luna is Liam's true identity. She only shows herself in the safety of her sister's room at night, hidden from the outside world and the rest of her family. The story is told through Luna/Liam's sister's point of view, because she is Luna's confidante.
This book is a beautiful, heartwrenching story of a person trying to break free and find acceptance. It's a story not only of Liam/Luna's transformation as a person, but her sister's growth and learning to accept Luna for who she is as well.
Luna is an inspiring story for anyone who's ever felt they don't fit in, and shows that it's possible to find acceptance and to let their true self show through.
