Book SynopsisA 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.Trade Review“This is the story with a triumphant-but-realistic ending. It’s challenging but not tragic, and it ends with bright, beautiful hope.” — Kirkus Reviews “Debut author Hennessey effectively depicts Shane’s life as both ordinary and very particular... A warm, realistic book.” — Publishers Weekly “Hennessey sensitively portrays typical sixth-grade trials (first crushes, embarrassing parents, etc.), compounded by the confusion and prejudice that can accompany transitioning. An honest, encouraging addition to the growing ranks of transgender lit for the middle grades.” — Booklist “Shane’s voice rings true, and the writing is straightforward and accessible...t’s refreshing to read a story with a young trans character already living life as his true gender and never questioning his identity...The book...has wide appeal.” — School Library Journal “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 “Hennessey explores Shane’s life and it’s many complications with sensitivity. Terrific story-telling elevates this above a standard “issues book,” and readers will find it impossible not to empathize with the diverse cast of characters.” — San Francisco Chronicle
