George / Melissa (Banned Book Club 4)
b'
We\'re telling off the transphobes and celebrating radical queer joy with our latest Banned Books conversation on Alex Gino\'s wonderful Melissa (originally published as George). This *wholly* appropriate Middle Grade book about a young trans girl coming out amidst a production of Charlotte\'s Web is exactly what the world needs more of, so you better believe Brenna and Joe are on a tear about its status as the #1 banned and challenged book THREE YEARS RUNNING.
Thanks to listeners Miriam, Victoria, Sophie and Tea, Books & Chocolate for their wonderful contributions to the discussion.
