Well, all the hoopla about Amazon has accomplished something positive for me, at least. I found a great book that I'd like to recommend (I didn't buy it from Amazon - I downloaded it as an ebook from Fictionwise). It's entitled Luna, by Julie Anne Peters, and it was simply outstanding.

Luna is told from the perspective of 16-year-old Regan, who is facing all the normal things a girl her age faces, and one thing most of them don't. Regan is the only one who knows her brother, Liam, isn't really a boy, he's a girl who calls herself Luna. For years, Regan has been letting Luna use her room to come out at night and been her confidante and adviser, but things are starting to change. Their family is dysfunctional with a capital D, for the first time in her life a cute boy is taking an interest in Regan, and to top it all off, Luna is no longer content with hiding in the shadows.

This is truly a remarkable story, and I think a very important one. The characters are vibrant and alive, the situations utterly believable and the emotional current raw and brilliant. I HIGHLY recommend this story to everyone; it will make you laugh, cry, rage - and most of all it will inspire you.

Luna is rated as Young Adult, so it's pretty much safe for all readers.
