Luna is the story of a girl, Regan, and her struggle to understand and support her older sister, Luna. Only Luna isn't really her sister, but her brother. This book by Julie Anne Peters introduces teens to the world of a sister forced to keep her brothers biggest secret. It shows the pain that families can go through in such fragile situations. And it shows first hand how prejudice still lives and breathes in our society.
However this is not just a book about a transgendered boy and his transformation, if it were surely Luna would have been the main character. This novel is more about Regan, about how her brother's secret so consumed her, that she lost herself within it. Throughout the book Regan re-discovers her life, her friends, her interests, outside of her brother. The book is about being yourself, loving those around you, and most importantly loving yourself.
