Sinossi
Cosa faresti se un giorno tuo fratello maggiore, il tuo idolo, la tua roccia, annunciasse di non chiamarsi più Jason ma Jessica? Di essere una ragazza e di essersi sempre sentita tale? È quello che succede a Sam, tredici anni, proprio quando l'adolescenza comincia a bussare alla porta, tra nuove amicizie e possibili amori. Il mondo per Sam si capovolge di colpo: non solo il fratello non è più lo stesso, quel fratello così popolare con le ragazze e così bravo a calcio, ma neanche i suoi genitori sono le persone aperte e tolleranti che lui ha sempre creduto di conoscere. Un romanzo che con empatia ma anche leggerezza e ironia racconta la difficoltà e l'importanza di accettare l'altro, sempre. Età di lettura: da 10 anni.

Everything about the outside of this book is a huge red flag for trans readers. The title and the blurb scream that this is yet another story that uses our lives and struggles as the backdrop to talk about how ~hard~ it is for the cis people in our lives to deal with us. I am sick and tired of stori Leggi tutto
I'm cis. My son is trans. This review contains spoilers I guess, though its nothing you won't see coming a mile off. Not only is the title a trash-fire, it's also the line used in the emotional climax of the novel, the moment in which the brother, on behalf of his family, publicly accepts his sister' Leggi tutto
CW: transphobia I acquired an advance copy of this book, and I’m here to tell you to pass it by. Before I go further, let’s be clear: I am a straight cis woman. If trans people say that my review is wrong, please listen to them. There are so many issues with this book, and I’m going to start with th Leggi tutto
I didn't actually read this book, but as the spouse of a trans-person I can say that the title is both ignorant and hurtful. Jessica is the main character's sister.
I was given a copy of “My Brother’s Name is Jessica” by Penguin Books NZ in exchange for an honest review. I’d like to start by saying that I’m a cis woman and therefore can only speak on how I found this book from that perspective. I think if you’re curious about this book, it’d be worth your time Leggi tutto
Whoo boy. Where do I even begin. Straight off, seeing the title and blurb, I can see issues. The title deadnames the trans character. What is the problem, you ask? Because it makes it seem like the story is about a boy realizing he is a girl. This perpetuates the usage of incorrect language that does Leggi tutto
Review from a trans* person: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... TW misgendering, deadnaming, ciscentric narrative about trans person’s coming out/transitionwell this is horrifying. and the whole blurb is somehow even even worse. https://t.co/ksofgZyapY— nicky tyler (he/they) (@nickyoflaherty) M Leggi tutto
