![]() ![]() ![]() The synopsis made me cringe because I recently heard about someone using “transformer” as an insult toward a transgender person, but Liv uses it to explain being transgender only once. As a cisgender person, I can’t speak to the authenticity of Liv’s experience. I have read several books this year that feature LGBTQ characters, so this book caught my eye. ![]() Cat Clarke’s The Pants Project focuses on a middle-school age student who struggles with bullying and trust and fights for a cause that means something to him. Liv sets out on a mission to change the dress code and his life. Worse for Liv is that he hasn’t shared with anyone why exactly this rule bothers him. This would be fine, except that this school is the only middle school that requires uniforms and girls can only wear skirts. Liv Spark is transgender and is entering sixth grade at a private school. I am aware that the hardcover came out in March, but I forgot it was on my shelf until a couple of weeks ago. I received this Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. ![]()
