Well if you have/are keeping a big secret you are just like Grayson. “Gracefully Grayson” is about a boy who has always imagined that he is a girl on the inside but was just born into the wrong gender’s body.

Grayson joins a play at his school and auditions for a girl character. Does Grayson get the part? Does he ever tell his huge secret? You will have to see by reading this amazing book. (In case you were wondering, the genre of this book is fiction). I really like this book because the author wrote it about identity, self-esteem, and friendships. Your identity, self-esteem, and your friendships in life are very important and I think this author is saying to be yourself no matter what and good things will come along the way. Yes, some bad things might happen while you are being yourself, but it’s who you are and no one can change that.
