Review

"Queer, There, and Everywhere" is a must have for school and public libraries as a valuable resource on LGBTQ history and personas. Prager presents a short history of the Queer community along with 23 short and straight forward biographies of remarkable people who have shown life's diversities. Well written and easy to follow; provides eye-opening information in some of the biographies. The end of the book provides a more current history and the status of the LGBTQ community. There is a TOC, glossary of terms and a well researched bibliography. The illustrations are sketches at the beginning of each bio and are representations of the person that is being discussed.

Recommended for grades 7 up. The LGBTQ community and many others will find this book of great interest for pleasure and informational reading. Could also be used as a resource for a paper on LGBTQ history.

Overall Book Score: excellent
