“Cross-Over” Books Provide GLBT Information for Educators, Parents, and Students

Abstract

ABSTRACT “Cross-over” books are those that can be read beyond the intended audience. For example, books intended for students can also inform parents and teachers. For educators in middle and high schools, such books about gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues can be particularly useful. This review highlights five such books, two written for educators, two for teenagers, and one for parents. All five can be productively read by all three audiences.
