Transmogrify!: 14 Fantastical Tales of Trans Magic by g. haron davisMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is exactly what I had hoped it would be. To sum it up in three words? Delightful, heartwarming, magical. If ANY of these stories come out as a book on its own, I am going to devour it faster than a box of Mike & Ikes.
Transmogrify!: 14 Fantastical Tales of Trans Magic is 14 tales of power, strength, courage, commitment, love, heartbreak, transphobia, really you name it and its in there. All encompassed by everything that is magic. As the first story ended without hesitation I dove into the second, and third, and before I knew it the book was done and I felt like I was at home again in the magical realm of books.
These stories of transgender and gender nonconforming people put into words the worlds that I had only ever wished for. Reading stories about people that feel like I do, like we just don’t have a place in the world, find their places and who they are in them, was something I never thought would be a reality. I know I keep talking about the existence of this book in general, but it’s exactly what I said in the beginning, exactly what I had hoped it would be.
Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins Children’s Books for the ARC.
