Susan Lundy asked Ellen Wittlinger:

Ellen, Susan here. I'm trying to buy a few more used books for my Little Free Library's "Banned Books" celebration week later this month. I've already picked up two more Hard Love and Parrotfish, of course, and I will put out Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry, To Kill a Mockingbird, and 1984 (which I've been saving). There are just too many new banned transgender books. What are the top 2 or 3 choices?

Ellen Wittlinger Hi Susan. Great you're curating your LFL so well! In truth, I haven't kept up with the YA world much since I'm only writing plays these days, but I looked at this list: https://www.nypl.org/books-more/recom... and there are a few titles/authors whose names I recognize. They've been around a while and have garnered awards. If I Were Your Girl by Meredith Russo and Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender. Stay Gold by Tobly Smith I've heard of recently too. And Tomboy, which is a graphic novel, might also be good. Thanks for being such a thoughtful LFL owner!
