Comparing two books: Invisible Lines & Gracefully Grayson

Invisible Lines & Gracefully Grayson are both similar in the following ways:
Both of the main characters are teenagers. In Invisible Lines the boys name is Trevor, and in Gracefully Grayson the girls name is Grayson. Another similarity they have is that they both have their own problems that effect them in negative ways. Trevor deals with his dad in prison and living in poverty, and Grayson has to live with the fact that she is transgender and not everyone is accepting.
This shows that these two books are on the serious side. In the book invisible lines it said, " We were on the bus, trash bags full of our clothes." This was when they were on their way to their new house. In the book Gracefully Grason it said, " I looked in the mirror and smiled. This skirt fit me perfect." This was when Grayson first started to feel that maybe she wasn't really a boy. 

Invisible Lines & Gracefully Grayson are different in the following ways:
Grayson has more of an emotional problem, and Tevor has a physical problem. Another difference they have is that in Gracefully Grayson, the author builds up to the conflict of the story by talking about her past. In Invisible Lines the author right away tells the problem/conflict in the first two chapters.
