COPY ISBN
Gr 7 Up—Thoroughly researched, these well-written books offer balanced explorations of everything from the early history of the LGBTQ+ movement to the AIDS crisis to marriage equality. Information is primarily organized chronologically, but detailed sidebars and captioned archival photographs break up the text, leading readers on forays into interesting, related topics. There is enough overlap between the titles to make each stand strongly on its own; as a whole, the series offers a comprehensive picture of the movement. Beyond Gender Binaries and The Early History of the Gay Rights Movement are two standouts, discussing topics that are generally glossed over in other books that explore similar subject matter.
VERDICT The six titles in this series work together to provide an in-depth look at the LGBTQ+ movement. Highly recommended for middle school and high school collections.
