Previous copies of George will be discarded once all holds are honoured. The Library has purchased hard copies of the to-be released (English) title, Melissa, which will arrive in our collection after the April 2022 release date. The article notes, “rather than Melissa’s Story as Gino had suggested, Scholastic opted for Melissa, a straightforward replacement that preserves the simple elegance of the original cover while reflecting the current thinking around addressing trans people by their chosen names.” New copies arriving Spring 2022

Publisher’s Weekly also reported on it here. You can read the author’s announcement in a Scholastic blog post here. In Fall 2021, publisher, Scholastic decided to issue a new edition, titled Melissa in April 2022. In response to the author's original invitation to the public to change their own covers from George to Melissa, the Library changed the title of its hard copies and any editable records, to Melissa’s Story and added a note detailing why inside each copy. Alex invited everyone to update the cover of their copy. (note: this book was previously titled George its been changed in later editions). Ages 8 12.Alex Gino, author of Melissa, shared via their blog, opens a new window in Summer 2021 that they made a mistake by originally naming their book George, when the story is all about Melissa-George was the name given to her at birth that she no longer uses. Profound, moving, and as Charlotte would say radiant, this book will stay with anyone lucky enough to find it. George's joy during stolen moments when she can be herself will resonate with anyone who has felt different, while providing a necessary window into the specific challenges of a child recognizing that they are transgender.

The taunts of a school bully, George's self-doubts, and her mother's inability to truly hear what George is telling her carry real weight as debut author Gino's simple, direct writing illuminates George's struggles and quiet strength. George's teacher doesn't allow to George to audition for the part, but her supportive best friend Kelly, who is cast as Charlotte, comes up with a plan that may give George the chance she needs. When George's fourth-grade class has tryouts for a school production of Charlotte's Web, George desperately wants to play Charlotte, a character she adores.
