This book sort of bothered me in many ways. It wasnt because it dealt with transgender issues; I was pretty excited to read a book about a trans* teen especially since I havent seen or read a lot of YA literature that dealt with that. It was more because of the way it was handled.Peters is a believer of authentic voices, so she portrayed the narrator as the sister of Luna - a 16 year old boy, Liam, who is struggling with keeping her true identity a secret. Unfortunately, this placed most of theThis was quite a short book but it told a really interesting story about a girl's relationship with her transgender sister.Regan's older sister, Luna, can only come out at night. Because by day, she's trapped in the body of Liam, a boy constantly under pressurre from the people in his small town to be more of a man, do sports and other gender-conforming crap.This book really focusses on Regan's story and how Luna's transition affects her, as well as the stuff she's going through at school. Her
Reviewed by Me for TeensReadToo.comLUNA is the first book I've ever read that deals specifically with transgender issues. Although you get a feel for what the book is about by reading the back copy--in effect, that Regan's brother, Liam, is a woman trapped in a man's body--you don't get the full spectrum of what this actually means until you reach the end of chapter one. "Rolling over, I muttered, 'You're such a freakshow.' Her hair splayed across my pillow, tickling my face. 'I know,' she
This is going to be a tough one to write a review for. Overall, I think it is a pretty fantastic book. But I do think that it has suffered a bit of dated-ness since it was first published (only in 2004! That is dated to me now!)"Luna" tells the story of Luna, who was born a male named Liam, through the perspective of her little sister, Regan. It is really (I hate to say it) interesting to see this story told through a straight cis-female perspective, since you would think the power of the story
This review can also be found here!DNF at 20%TW: transphobia, misgendering, deadnaming, and others since I DNFed itWow was this reread problematic.But lets backtrack.When I was a young transman, still figuring out what the fuck that meant for me, I read this book. Along with a few others. But this one really stood out for me because I remember enjoying it. And it helped me ground myself in basic details.But rereading it?Nope. Just nope.First of all, its told from the perspective of Liam/Lia
Recommended and sent by Lys. And then she dares deny she's puccia. Anyway, this was both cute and meaningful. And well, sad and frustrating and all the FEELS. I do not know if I can write an english review in this case. I'll try my best.Liam is a girl. He has always felt like a girl and he's been hiding the real him (or her, really) for all his life. The only one who knows about Luna, Liam's true self, is her sister, Regan.I don't know how realistic Luna is, because I really can't imagine how
This book is getting really good. Luna wants to tell he's parents that he is a girl. Thats what he wants to be. No a man but a woman.
