This Book is Gay
Publisher: HotKey
Following her previous book Being a Boy, young adult author and former PSHCE teacher Juno Dawson offers up a funny, frank look at all things LGBT in this intelligently-written non-fiction book.
Including testimonials from people across the gender and sexual spectrums, this is an accessible and inclusive take on what it's like to grow up LGBT, addressing all the worries and anxieties young people may have about this topic - whether or not they are questioning their own sexuality. Dawson writes responsibly and sensitively about her subject, but has plenty of fun along the way - and Spike Gerrell's irreverent illustrations add an extra dose of humour too.
A fantastic book for classrooms and school libraries, This Book is Gay is a must-read for teachers and parents, as well as teens themselves.

My 13 year old son is reading this book. He is a fan of Rick Riordan , and that’s usually about it. I bought this book after he told me he thinks he is bisexual and he has broken away from tv and video games to even read me some passages that made him laugh and think. “Why isn’t there discussion of LGBTQ+ in sex Ed class.” Strongly suggest this book!

I am 13 genderfluid and a lesbian; I love reading and when I read this I kept wondering why they don't have this in schools. Definitely suggest this book
