"Parrotfish" by Ellen Wittlinger

Angela knows that she's always been a boy, and now it's time to let everyone else know. Angela comes out as a transgendered, changing her name to Grady, cutting her hair, and dressing in male clothing. Grady's new identity suits him well, but people in his life are having a harder time adjusting. Friends at school don't always know the best way to react, and some are outright homophobic and hostile. Grady's family is confused, but supportive, and Grady keeps busy helping his dad with their overboard Christmas decorations and the arrival of his newest cousin. This book is great for building awareness around transgendered issues, and provides valuable resources for any questioning teenagers.

"Freak Show" by James St. James

Billy Bloom is fabulous. Absolutely fabulous. Billy is flamboyant, flashy, and the best dressed drag queen you'll ever meet. His sense of style unfortunately doesn't mesh well at his conservative high school, and Billy's having a hard time fitting in, and defending himself against vicious attacks. Billy becomes determined to win homecoming queen and show his fellow students what he's made of. Recommended for high school readers.
