Kisses for Jet by Joris Bas Backer
In 1999, when most people think that the world is about to end with the Y2K crash on the eve of the new Millennium, Jet is just trying to get through high school. When their Mom moves to another country to work on fixing the Millennium bug, Jet is forced to stay at a boarding house while they finish the school year, which they're not pleased about.
A nuanced look into the life of a trans teen by a trans author and illustrator-- Buzzfeed
I really loved Kisses for Jet, an important story that I thought was wonderfully honest and beautifully told. * Eleanor Crewes, author of The Times I Knew I Was Gay *
Jet's earnest questioning and relationship with gender and adolescence illustrates the conflict between becoming who the world wants them to be and who they are, conveyed in a raw, personal-feeling portrayal of transition in a pre-internet era. * Publishers Weekly *
