While the topic of drag performance has been covered in young adult books, fewer novels have discussed kids who perform drag and in a way that is accessible to a younger audience. A solid purchase for most public and school libraries.

Despite a few missteps, this realistic middle grade novel’s exploration of the stories people tell to protect themselves, and the courage it takes to see through them, is ultimately uplifting.

Purchase where stories of humorous family drama and relationships are popular.
