| Book about a family with a trans child. I loved it. Highly recommend. |

Agreed. I found the fanciful parts really annoying, which was a shame, because I thought the basic story was good. |

| Is it YA or what? |

It's not YA.
I loved this book too. Just really beautifully written and delves into the complexities parents face. |

| What are the "fanciful" parts? |

+1. I appreciated the nuances of the complexities. The author is from Howard County, actually. I tried to read another book of hers but didn't like it; didn't get very far. |

I think they are talking about the neverending story that the dad imakes up and is telling the kids? OP here, and I loved that part, too. I really liked this book and was happy to see the thread pop up again. |
