Genius Jolene by Sara Cassidy

4.0

It's a short story but full of adventures for Jolene who goes with her dad in his 18-wheeler. During their trip they decide to taste onion rings in different places and rate them. Jolene is 8 years old and her parents got divorced last year, because her dad realized he is suppose to love men in a romantic way, like he tried to explained to her. Now he lives with his boyfriend. And Jolene alternate living one week with them, and one week with her mom. She had to see her mom being really sad for a while. During her trip with her dad, she has to face for the very first time homophobia.

It was a nice way to talk about the topic, from a young kid's perspective. To help children who get through it or know someone who do.
