As part of promoting a culture of reading at Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts,
I encourage young readers’ book reviews of their favorite books. In that spirit, I display five-star reviews of books that
I’ve especially enjoyed. Here is one of
my recent five-star reviews, for
Opting Out, a graphic novel by Maia Kobabe and Swati “Lucky” Srikumar.
I love this book! In an accessible way it addresses the upheaval of puberty, the awkwardness of seeing your closest friend pair up with a romantic partner, and the confusion when your internal sense of self doesn’t fit with the rigid binary that society views as normal. I really appreciated having early access to this book.
