Will new strength from an unexpected friendship and a caring teacher's wisdom be enough to help Grayson step into the spotlight she was born to inhabit?
Debut author Ami Polonsky's moving, beautifully written novel about identity, self-esteem, and friendship shines with the strength of a young person's spirit and the enduring power of acceptance.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“The writing is clear and effortless, with a straightforward plot and likable characters. Grayson is charming…[and] balances uncertainty with clarity, bravery with anxiety. This title has less obvious and didactic intent than other novels featuring transgender protagonists. A welcome addition to a burgeoning genre.” —School Library Journal
Narrated by Emily Beresford. Beresford's clear enunciation and varied pacing reflects Grayson's excitement for the things he loves, like drawing princesses, but also his fear of admitting the truth about himself--that he identifies as a girl."Â ---Booklist —
