Alex Gino

But George isn’t about to let that squash her dream. With the help of her best friend, George must learn to stand up for her wish – and brave a few bullies along the way. Transcending all categories and genres, George is a pertinent and poignant middle-grade read for kids of all backgrounds.;* A coda to the Charlotte’s Web story, in which George presents herself as a girl for the first time, is deeply moving in its simplicity and joy.
