"When 11-year-old Bug tries to prepare to enter middle school, it’s not as easy as it seems. Bug’s best friend Moira spends her time putting on makeup and checking out cute boys, but Bug has no interest. As Bug tries to manage leaving tomboy-hood behind, the ghost of recently-gone Uncle Roderick seems to be haunting the house. But why? What is he trying to help Bug figure out? A beautiful middle-grade novel about grief, self-realization and acceptance, Too Bright to See is a heart-rending tale of Bug’s transgender journey, with plenty of creepy ghost story thrills. (For ages 10 and up)"
