The Bookworm says... YES!
Beautiful Music for Ugly Children by Kirstin Cronn-Mills was an amazing book. Biologically, his name is Elizabeth, but he's a guy. Announcements like Gabe's don't tend to sit well with some parents, friends, and the general public. Gabe takes to a radio show to let his B side play. The B Side- the side of a record that isn't played as often, but is usually just as good, if not better. The Ugly Children specialize in B Sides, and Gabe is their wring leader. This is their chance to let the world hear their B Sides.
I loved this book. Gabe is an amazingly thought out character. His bravery and passion are incredible. I laughed, I cried, and I gasped, all over the course of 262 pages. Truly wonderful book.
