A beautifully heartfelt story about one boy s journey toward acceptance. A book that Jill Soloway, the award-winning creator of Transparent, called a terrific read for all ages and Ami Polonsky, author of Gracefully Grayson, called an emotionally complex and achingly real read. Twelve-year-old Shane Woods is just a regular boy. He loves pitching for his baseball team, working on his graphic novel, and hanging out with his best friend, Josh. But Shane is keeping something private, something that might make a difference to his friends and teammates, even Josh. And when a classmate threatens to reveal his secret, Shane s whole world comes crashing down. It will take a lot of courage for Shane to ignore the hate and show the world that he s still the same boy he was before. And in the end, those who stand beside him may surprise everyone, including Shane."
Shane s story presents a range of experiences of how people react to someone transgender. More importantly, his story walks readers through what it feels like to know your body doesn t align with your gender. Shane is positioned just right to surface problems negotiating friends and romance as an ordinary boy. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"
