As a transgender person myself, the first bit of the book is a very rough and a bit upsetting read at first, but slowly over the course of the book, you get a real sense of Max coming into his own and trying to become the man he wants to be. I would absolutely suggest this book to any Transgender child you might know who is struggling with their identity and might even be bullied for it, just be there for them in the early bits and reassure them that it'll work out.
