Square Fish.
Liza Winthrop meets Annie Kenyon at the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York. Liza attends Foster Academy, a private school, while Annie attends public school. However, both girls frequent museums. They are instantly drawn to each other. Their friendship grows until their relationship is discovered by an administrator from Foster Academy.
I feel this is an exceptional read for anyone who is struggling with their sexuality. It is, however, more appropriate for the age group of 12-17 years.
Garden goes through Kohlberg's three levels of moral development in Annie on My Mind. At the preconventional level, Liza is making her decisions to please her parents and everyone at Foster Academy. During conventional morality, she looks at her feelings for Annie as wrong because society and Foster Academy frown upon gays. And at the postconventional level, she realizes that what society says is "wrong", might not be wrong for her. Although, it takes her months to realize it.
