Our top pick for tween’s realistic fiction

$23.40

One of the best ways to teach your kids about sensitive topics like mental health, bullying, LGBTQ identities, and big life change is through books. While not every book gets it right, Lily and Dunkin is a great example of one that does.

Reading from the perspective of characters with real-life issues can help them empathise with others struggling, or even help them realise they’re not alone if they struggle with it themselves. Even better, after reading Lily and Dunkin, they might be inclined to talk about their thoughts on it, which opens up an important conversation that is hard to approach otherwise.

This book revolves around Lily, a trans eighth grader, and Dunkin, who struggles with his recent move from New Jersey and dealing with Bipolar disorder.
