Queer representation in the young adult book world has improved in recent years as authors and stories have focused on more than just the coming out process, which while an important milestone, isn’t a defining one.

As a result, readers who do identify as LGBTQIA can now pick up a steampunk adventure set in Victorian London, a contemporary tale about a gender fluid protagonist finding fame on the internet, and a fantasy novel featuring a lesbian romance.

This young adult fantasy is well written, keeps your interest and is full of action. I certainly enjoyed the romance between Rose and Rayce as it was a sweet love. This author is off to a fantastic start and I'm hoping there's a second book!!

If you loved Fantastic mr Fox film, you'll love this

Wanted to watch this as soon as I heard they had produced anither film. Was really good I enjoyed all of it and will watch it again.
Not suitable for younger viewers due to some scenes dealing with suicide, death, and other adult themes.
