5.0 out of 5 stars Important Historical Reading
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2023
For too long, LGBTQ history has been ignored by educational institutions. This book is a simple way to understand the struggles of a marginalized group that lives in our society and their struggle for basic human rights. Teaching inclusivity is important to human development and our country.

My daughters loved this series but this book they did not like at all and said they story did not flow. It had a lot of historical flaws and also parents should have a heads up that this has trans youth as a subject matter.

2.0 out of 5 stars Could also be called "I Survived Running Away"
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2024
My 9-year-old daughter found this book at the library and checked it out because she enjoyed most of the other titles in this series. We read it together because of the subject matter (LGBTQ rights, runaway youth, bars) and I thought she would have questions. I also wondered how a girl would find herself in a bar late at night (the setting of the Stonewall Riot aka Stonewall Uprising). I don't disagree that the Stonewall Uprising is important history, but I think the book oversimplified if not glamorizes running away from home. What in reality could be a very dangerous situation, in the book the trans girl finds everything going her way - sharing a park bench with a new friend; they are given money to buy food the next morning and another stranger (a drag Queen) offers the youth a place to sleep - the floor of her apartment, but they have to meet her at the Stonewall Inn -a bar - at night. The girls go there and drinking alcohol is mentioned in the book (not by the girls). I feel some of these issues and how they were presented are inappropriate for youth ages 8-12. The book left us wondering where Flor would sleep in the nights to come, where would she find food and would she return to school. My daughter did not like this book and I am questioning the other books in this series. The book generated thoughtful discussion for us, which I appreciate, but I cannot recommend it for young readers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Inappropriate Content for Ages 8-12
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024
This book is filled with inappropriate content for ages 8-12. There is a glossary at the end which defines words such as - drag king and queen, female impersonator, gay, lesbian, and transgender. The book puts forth the idea that it is acceptable to run from the police and fight against them if you are "fighting back for a better future" and "defending ourselves against the police who stole our dreams and trampled our rights." This book is an unfortunate entry in the "Girls Survive" series by an author with a clear agenda.

1.0 out of 5 stars Inappropriate
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2023
My daughter checked this book out from her school library. She immediately became uncomfortable once she realized what the book is about. In my personal opinion, this is a highly inappropriate subject matter that is marketed to CHILDREN ages 8-11.

Stonewall Riots? Make sure to read the description of the book. This should not be marketed to 8-11 year old girls. Absolutely ridiculous.
