A review by grapeapril75
Run, Clarissa, Run by Rachel Eliason
5.0
I received a copy free through Goodreads First Reads.
Wow what a fantastic book!! The story was perfectly paced and the characters were fabulous!! Clarissa was not only engaging but also heartwarming. This was my first read about a transgender character and it was amazing.
I loved the whole concept and I think it depicts much of what these teens face today. the bullying was something that any teen could relate to and the author did a great job of making it real but not too real. This book does a great job of promoting diversity and bringing understanding to an emerging group.
Really well done and I would love to see more from this author!
I would love to have the teens in my book club read this book and discuss it after. It would be interesting to see what they think. It would also be a terrific book for them because most of them are also in our LGBTQ peer group at the teen center. It could definitely give them another perspective!
Cover Art - Cool text but nothing that is going to really grab you and say hey pick me over all the awesome covers on the bookshelf!
