Lily and Dunkin (By Donna Gephart)
Lily Jo McGrother, born Timothy McGrother, is a girl inside a boy's body. That's not so easy, especially because she's in the 8th grade. To add to her worries, her father doesn't approve of her becoming a girl. Dunkin Dorfman, born Norbert Dorfman, deals with bipolar disorder, and has just moved from New Jersey. That would be bad enough, but he is also carrying around a dark secret about his past. One day, Lily and Dunkin meet, and their lives become intertwined. Will Dunkin be able to move on, and will Lily ever truly become a girl with her dad's consent? I recommend this book for ages 11 and up. Readers need to be mature enough to understand some of the content in this book. I loved this book, as it was heartfelt and moving. I give it 4.5/5 stars.
