A landmark in LGBT fiction, this captivating story of two
teenage girls who fall in love is a “classic of the genre”
(Publishers Weekly). When Liza Winthrop first lays eyes on Annie
Kenyon at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, she knows there\’s
something special between them. Soon, their close friendship
develops into a deep and intimate romance. Neither imagined that
falling in love could be so wonderful, but as Liza and Annie’s
newfound sexuality sparks conflict in both their families and at
their schools, they discover it will take more than love for
their relationship to succeed. One of the first books to
positively portray a lesbian relationship, Annie on My Mind is a
groundbreaking classic of the genre. The subject of a First
Amendment lawsuit over banned books and one of School Library
Journal’s “One Hundred Books that Shaped the Century,” Nancy
Garden’s iconic novel is an important story for anyone
discovering who they’re meant to be.
Characters: 29. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Young Adult.
