Too Bright to See
Too Bright to See by Kyle Lukoff is a haunting middle-grade novel about Bug, a kid grieving a beloved uncle and grappling with eerie happenings in a Vermont farmhouse while slowly realizing he is a trans boy. The story weaves ghost-story atmosphere with a gentle, deeply felt coming-out journey. Parents and educators appreciate its compassion, nuanced portrayal of grief, and accessible writing. It’s best for readers around grades 5–8, including those exploring questions of identity or allyship. Some spooky elements and emotional topics may be intense for very sensitive kids, so read-alouds or joint reading can help. It pairs well with discussions about names, pronouns, and family support.
