While it felt like there were some stereotypical male/female gender likes/dislikes initially, it actually sort of blended out by the end. What a great friend he turned out to be, with his own struggles (which also surprised me). I think my favourite part was the developing friendship with Jacob.
His brother Enzo was also kind of hilarious. I LOVED seeing Liv interact with his family - I didn’t expect the two mom’s, and so that was a bit of a surprise. It just happens that the Pants Project grew from Liv’s struggle. I kind of expected Liv’s gender identity to be more in the forefront, but it was really more just between Liv and us. It wasn’t just Liv struggling with their inner identity, it was also all the age old struggles of middle school and fitting in and bullying and all that stuff. And I can only imagine that this is an age where things start to become really really difficult for anyone trying to figure themselves out and assert themselves.Īnd honestly, that’s just exactly what I got from this book. But I saw this on Chirp, and it had Julia Whelan as a narrator, and I just know I need more gender identity books in my life. I just don’t have a lot of interest, probably because I cringe at my middle grade self when I think on the past. My Review:Ĥ stars - I…don’t read Middle Grade books. But to Liv, this isn't just a mission to change the policy - it's a mission to change his life. The only way for Liv to get what he wants is to go after it himself. Liv knows he was always meant to be a boy, but with his new school's terrible dress code, he can't even wear pants.
Only not quite as cool because I probably won't get to save the world one day."
