(3) YA Two transgender high-school classmates meet and grow close in this layered novel that spotlights different stages of transition and celebrates the importance of friendship. Sympathetic, multifaceted characters and nuanced social and family drama make this both notable and successful. Leo's search for his absentee father is a major plot engine, and Leo and David are developed well beyond questions of gender.
