Girl Mans Up

I found this book in one of my libraries list of banned books. I LOVED THE BOOK. I was transported back to high school and all the strong “feels” associated with pretty much everything. Pen is a fantastic character and I could see how anyone struggling with gender identity could really relate to how much her clothing, hair, actions, etc would ruffle feathers as I've had similar issues . I was so proud of her for standing up for herself with her “this is me, take it or leave it” attitude.
