    1. Can be used as both a book and decor As you may have noticed already, this book has an exceptionally beautiful cover! It's definitely one of my favourite book covers ever and it represents what the book is about so amazingly, in my opinion. Not only is the cover gorgeous though, the book's spine is also a sight to gawk at. So for the very impossible case that you should not like this book, it will still look stunning in your bookshelf. :D         2. The main character Monty aka drama personified I always loved dramatic characters, and Monty tops them all. I adored him from page one onwards, because he is just an overly excentric , quite hysterical drama queen who is way too full of himself. And although one might not think this at first, he has so many layers and is a pure joy to explore and an amazing choice for a protagonist. Reading this story through his eyes made everything way more fun and entertaining and amusing and I ...

FACTS ABOUT THE BOOK Title: GEORGE Author: Alex Gino Publisher: Scholastic Price: £6.99 Pages: 215 Genre: LGBTQ - transgender girl, Children's book Year: 2017         BACK OF THE BOOK       WHAT IS IT ABOUT? This book is about George, who is 10 years old and looks like a boy but feels like a girl. When her class takes part in a school play of "Charlotte's Web", George wants nothing more but to play the main character, the spider Charlotte. Since this character is supposed to be female, George's teacher doesn't allow George to play Charlotte. This makes George upset and leads to George trying to come to terms with her gender identity and thus coming out to her family and classmates. Ultimately, this book is about George who wants to become Melissa.         MY OPINION There is not much text on each page of the book, wherefore it is an extremely quick read and feels a lot like a c...
