Teens

On September 15th, 2011, I created a blog post recommending 10 LGBT related non-fiction books geared toward queer teenagers or about them. Several of the books had been reviewed on this site previously and they can be found sprinkled throughout other categories. In the interest of better serving the needs of the readers who arrive here via searches for books for gay teens, I’ve created this page.

As time goes on, and I review more books, I’ll add them to this page.

LGBT Teen Books I’ve Reviewed:

Helping Your Transgender Teen: A Guide for Parents by Irwin Krieger. Please see my September 28th, 2011 post for my review.

September 15th, 2011 Recommendations:

In regards to the 10 books I recommended on September 15th, they’re all ranked 4 stars or more on Amazon.com and have received high reader reviews from readers just like you and me. They’re numbered 1-10 but really in no particular order. The books that I had previously reviewed have links to their reviews.
