Though it's lighter on material for trans or nonbinary teens (ahem, edition three?), the end result is a fun, easy to read, and occasionally hilarious guide that should be available on a shelf in every high school library in the U.S. In this case, it's sex, STIs, and how to tell if your relationship is abusive (kudos for that one, as many authors forget the dangers in teen dating that are exacerbated by internalized homophobia or biphobia). This second edition combines some "It Gets Better" basics (coming out, dating, and finding your people) as well as the good stuff authors are often forced to leave out of books aimed at teens. Like a queer 101 manual for queer teens, this second edition of QUEER is a delightful collection of trustworthy and accurate information that tweens and teens need today, all told in a sort of quirky, sometimes goofy, and always approachable older sister tone. An easy read with thought-provoking narratives, Prager pulls readers into astonishing true stories that uncover a rich queer history covering all cultures and eras. Queer, There, and Everywhere by Sarah Prager with illustrations by Zoe More O'Ferrall gives the perfect history lesson about 23 people who've paved the way for human rights, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, and Sweden's genderqueer Queen Christina.
