Twelve-year-old trans boy Shane has been living in "stealth mode" since transferring to a new school. On the baseball team with his best friend, Shane's biggest challenge is convincing his father to allow him to start testosterone--until a rumor about his gender starts circulating. With excerpts from Shane's graphic novel interspersed throughout, this hopeful story is hampered by flat and stereotypical secondary characters.
