For parents who are more conservative, this book is not one you want your 8-10 year old reading....especially without a dialogue with you as they read it. Parents should read this before they give it the thumbs up for their child.

George is an amazing story about finding yourself and being brave enough to hope others will except you.

Beautiful book, just beautiful.

what an incredibly lovely, important book. george is a sweet, honest, and genuinely good book about a young trans girl. it's interesting, smart, engaging, and well written. so in love.

This is a great book about a transgender girl in the fourth grade. I enjoyed reading George's thoughts as she navigates coming out to her best friend and family. The author, Alex Gino is able to make difficult topics like gender dysphoria, micro-aggressions, bullying, and bathrooms easily understood. George's best friend Kelly not only encourages her but creates space for her to be herself and succeed in the things she loves. George's triumphs make this an uplifting book that celebrates diversity and friendship. A gem of a story!

This was an amazing book about being who you are and accepting people as they are. It has a great message and a good plot. George only wants to audition for Charlotte for the class play, but since she is a so-called "boy", she is not allowed. I think everybody should be aware that people can be who they are, and you shouldn't judge them. This was a great book!

So I know I'm about 800,000 years late on this book- I've been busy okay? But oh my god everyone I know needs to get up and read this--seriously. The book is kind of brutal, in a good way--at some point, after I had thrown it down for the 8th time to cry, I went "this is really a book about the ways that parents bully their children about gender and don't realize it at all." As a non-binary trans person, the way that people around Melissa insist things about her gender was very, very painful, but the end was so satisfying and wonderful. Bless this book--I'm so, so grateful it exists, and I want every person I know to read it.

This book was a delight to read. All Melissa wants is to be accepted for who she is, which I think is a theme that will be pretty universal for the upper elementary/middle school crowd. The only difference between her and her peers is that she's trans, which I think was presented in a very age-appropriate way: everyone thinks she's a boy because she looks like one, but she's actually a girl. I really can't recommend George highly enough.

Inspiring and meaningful. Definitely worth reading! :) Cheeky Bob's Reading Tips ! My motto is if you don't like/get a book at first read 20 pages and then decide if you want to continue:) BY CHEEKY BOB:) (If you would like to read my comment I have put it in with the summrays)📝

George is a girl, but everyone else thinks she's a boy, except for her friend Kelly. How can she make people see her for who she really is? By being Charlotte in the 4th grade play of Charlotte's Web of course ! But will her teacher let her play the part? A heartwarming book about acceptance and being the person you really are.
