Books for Kids: Boy Meets Boy

I bought the Bee a Nook for her birthday. She loves to read, and with the Nook iPad app, I can share books with her through a single account.

One of the e-books that I bought her was David Levithan’s Boy Meets Boy. I downloaded it and read it recently myself, and I highly recommend it, for those of you with tweens or teens in the house, or folks who just like YA lit.

It’s an interesting idea, what it would be like to grow up gay in a world where everyone treated you just like everybody else. And I think the idea that gay teens would just get to make the same dumb mistakes that straight teens do is comforting, in a weird way.
