George - Alex Gino

George is a book about a little girl who is born in a boys body. She goes through her 4th grade year with bullies and a best friend named Kelly. George's 4th grade play is Charlotte's Web and George wants to play Charlotte the kind spider who saves Wilber the pigs life. The teacher, however, who does not know that George is Trans doesn't understand why George would want to play a girl. George is an amazing book about a girl who doesn't always get chances other girls get. She goes through journeys with her best friend and figures out how to come out to the people in her life.

Auggie and Me - R.J. Palacio

Auggie and me is a wonderful telling of three stories of children who's lives happen to intertwine with Auggie's. You get to know Julian's character a lot better. Everyone hates Julian and I'm not excusing his actions at all but when you read his story you hear more about why he did the things he did. Next you hear from Christopher. Auggie's childhood bestfriend who grows apart from Auggie. He deals with divorce and looses his sense of Auggie along the way. Lastly there is Charlotte. A girl who was never nicer than necessary to Auggie. In this we hear more about what Charlotte goes through with mean girls and dances and middle school. I loved this book.  - Viv B
