Freakboy - Kristin Elizabeth Clark

Descriere Freakboy - Kristin Elizabeth Clark

\n \nA powerful novel in verse told from the points of view of a genderqueer teenager, the teen's girlfriend, and a trans woman\n \nAn important story, written with compassion and startling insight. --Ellen Hopkins, The New York Times-bestselling author of the Crank trilogy \n \nFrom the outside, Brendan Chase seems to have it pretty easy. Brendan is a star wrestler, a video game aficionado, and a loving significant other to seemingly perfect match, Vanessa. \n \nBut Brendan feels so wrong. Why does Brenan sometimes fantasize having long hair, soft skin, and gentle curves? Is there even a name for people like Brendan? People who are assigned male at birth but who sometimes want to be girls? Or is Brendan just a freak? \n \nIn Freakboy's razor-sharp verse, Kristin Clark folds three narratives into one powerful story: Brendan's exploration of gender; Vanessa, who fights to keep her and Brendan's relationship alive; and Angel, a woman who's struggling to confront her own demons. \n \nPraise for Freakboy \n \nDebut novelist Clark uses free verse to write a gripping story about a complex topic: the challenges of growing up transgender or genderqueer. --Publishers Weekly, starred review\n \nThis gutsy, tripartite poem explores a wider variety of identities--cis-, trans-, genderqueer--than a simple transgender storyline, making it stand out. --Kirkus Review, starred review\n
