The 57 Bus by Dashka Slater

The 57 Bus by Dashka Slater

**** 4 stars

Review:

This was a very enlightening read about genders and how one small act can change our lives path in a big way.
A true story about reckless behaviour on a bus home from school.

Richard and Sasha are the main characters in this story, you see the perspective from both sides and you get to know both of them as they share their lives and feelings.

I learned a lot about the different terms for gender and sex. Not everyone is just male or female and we have to have open minds and not discriminate anyone for their gender term.

Despite the horrific act against Sasha by Richard this book showed us how communities pull together in the face of adversity and about true forgiveness.
Excellent read!
