My fault (I hope) in not getting it

Gracefully Grayson
by Ami Polonsky

Short but heartfelt story of a young girl born into a boy's body.  I enjoyed it--what there was of it--but I wish she'd been a little more introspective.  You feel like she jumped from one impulsive decision to another, never looking forward and never looking back.  But wait--this is a pre-teen!  That's perfectly normal adolescent behavior.

But still, there wasn't much emotion in her.  It was all bottled up...or else a failure on the part of the author to empathize with her imaginary creation.  I don't know.  I wonder what other people thought?

Anyway, that's all I can say without stealing someone else's ideas.
