It is so honest and I love that this book is written in a simple way and easily accessible to children. I strongly felt that the reactions shown to George in this book are quite close to those of today’s society and it made it feel very real. Her best friend, Kelly, turns out to be wonderfully supportive her brother is surprisingly accepting her mother goes on a roller coaster of emotions and she is on the receiving end of taunts from the class bully. This story explores George’s own feelings as well as the way in which those around her react. It tells the story of George, a young girl who has been born in the wrong body: biologically she is a boy. Not just so she can be Charlotte - but so everyone can know who she is, once and for all. With the help of her best friend, Kelly, George comes up with a plan. But the teacher says she can’t even try out for the part. George really, really, REALLY wants to play Charlotte. Then her teacher announces that their class play is going to be Charlotte’s Web. George thinks she’ll have to keep this a secret forever. Synopsis:When people look at George, they think they see a boy.
