Gracefully grayson by ami polonsky6/22/2023 Grayson is encouraged to try out by his humanities teacher, who plays the role of the “supportive adult who seems to know what’s going on” that many of us wish we had. The school is holding a play about the myth of Persephone and Hades. This adds to his detachment from others, but has other significance as well. His parents died in a car accident when he was four. Grayson lives with his aunt, uncle and their two children, making him the middle child. As can be easily guessed, she is trans (I will refer to Grayson as female in this review because I think she’d prefer that.) However, like so many of us at her age, we hid it. This is her first published book, and it’s aimed at a middle school audience. She is a teacher who decided to write a “middle age” book. A quick Google search took me to her website. The first to be released chronologically was Gracefully Grayson, which was written by Ami Polonsky. As they are similar, but not the same, I will review them together. This week I’m doing two books, and both are for children of various ages.
