Ana on the Edge | 
so-soThe main character in this is figuring out her gender identity and thinking she might be nonbinary. So so glad this book exists for kids. The skating though? Not for me. And there was a lot of skating, lol.

This book was such an interesting tale of a skater hitting that space where things seem to get so much more complicated as you change from "girl" to "lady" in the sports world and realizing maybe the skating world doesn't have words for things that aren't a girl or a boy, but the rest of the world might.
bailedThe plot was just taking sooooo long to pick up. I got over halfway done and it just felt like almost nothing had happened.
pickOoh, I loved this one! Ana is an ice skating champion (7th grade) who increasingly feels frustration at the costumes, styles, and music that are picked out for her. When a new friend mistakes her for male she finds a reluctance to correct him.
What a fantastic middle-grade story about starting to figure out identity. Note: At the end Ana still uses she/her pronouns, but has made other changes.

I'm enjoying another winter of dance and skating reads! ❄️ This hearty story is soo good; on navigating continued success in youth champ programs, while newly exploring one's feel of identity. Trans & Non-Binary #LGBTQ reading is a high recommend here; complex as can seem to be, but insightful on unique and androgynous views; the uneasy ups & downs, seeking true balance. 🤓 Love! @matokah

This next novel .. set in January, but so anticipated to start reading now, makes for my 'impulse read'. 🤓❄️
I‘m not sure when I‘ll absolutely know if I fall in between a boy and a girl, or outside that binary entirely ... Uncertainty feels like less of a burden and more of an opportunity.
I am Ana and Ana is I.
I‘m done being anyone but me.
I'm not sure if my folks generally want to go for mall stores, other than all local this year for Christmas shopping. -- If I don't see the chance or luck soon, I'll pick up the digital Ana On The Edge for my #WinterGames reading. That's on iBooks, but not found on Google Books for tablet, other than the audio version there. I have an advantage anyway between both. This winter could mean more of the digital, than the physical buys. ❄️
