(3) YA Twins Ysabel and Justin's lives are complicated since their father came out as transgender; they struggle to come to terms with what the change means for their family. Alternating narration, nuanced emotions, and Davis's idealistic (though admirably so) treatment of the subject make this a worthwhile contribution to LGBTQ literature. An appended resource on proper transgender terminology adds additional value.
