The book I am reading is The 57 Bus by Dashka Slater. It revolves around an accident on the 57 bus and why it would happen and how it was solved. The plot is in Oakland, California. This book tells us the third choice outside of the usual binaries: male or female, good and bad.  One of our main characters is Sasha and they are agender. They tell us about Sasha’s journey and what they had to do to come out as a third gender. Then our second main character Richard is very funny and jokes around a lot. He does not like people who don’t identify as male or female and wanted to joke around and accidentally lights up Sasha’s dress. Trials were then held and Richard felt sincerely sorry for his actions. Richard is not an evil antagonist but simply someone who made a bad choice. This story also through Richard’s POV points out the issue of colored people not getting enough education and skipping school. The slight discrimination is also hinted in the story.
