Girl Haven by Lilah Sturges, Meaghan Carter, Joamette Gil
The book starts out with three girls in a queer club at school. One boy, Ash, joins them. They go to his house and look through his mom's old stuff. Then they are teleported to the girl kingdom that his mom had dreamed up. It only has girls in it. they run into the scourge, which is the kingdom of boys. Ash gets proclaimed the king. He is trying to get his mom back. He also feels he is more comfortable in a dress and doing girl things. Now Ash is a girl. She learns that her mother is dead. She helps make peace in the kingdom by given a hug. They return back to the normal world. They have all been gone for multiple days. Ash's father mentions that this happened before with Ash's mom. The kids all go back to school and go on with their lives, with Ash now identifying as a girl. It is a weird bit of fantasy and reality that has a mix of feminist and queer values.
