Being Violet (en Inglés) - Violet Caulfield;Chrissi Wilson

What if becoming yourself means asking everyone else to see you differently, too?

Thirteen-year-old Violet has always known there was something different about her. Now, after finally understanding why, she makes a decision that will change everything: she is going to live as the girl she has always known herself to be.

But knowing who you are is only the beginning.

As Violet starts navigating life as herself, she has to face the real-world consequences of being different. School becomes complicated. Friendships change. Her family struggles to understand her. Some people surprise her with kindness, while others make it painfully clear that being yourself can come at a cost.

Along the way, Violet finds unexpected friendship, discovers people willing to stand beside her, and begins to understand that she doesn’t have to face everything alone. But when tensions at home and school reach breaking point, she is forced to decide how much she is willing to sacrifice just to be herself.

Because Violet doesn’t want to become someone else.

She just wants to be Violet.

Being Violet is an emotionally honest coming-of-age novel about identity, friendship, family, school, and finding the courage to live as yourself. Written with warmth, humour and heart, it follows one girl’s journey through the difficult, hopeful and sometimes messy process of becoming who she knows she is.

Perfect for readers looking for contemporary YA fiction exploring transgender identity, LGBTQ+ themes, friendship, family, self-discovery and coming of age.
