Boy2Girl: Genderbending Fun

Sam or Samantha?  Boy2Girl places a tough American orphan of sorts into his British cousin's world.  In order to fit in with his cousin's "gang", Sam agrees to the dare of dressing as a girl on his first day of school.  The gang thinks Sam will bugger off but he ends up liking his new gender identity and quickly is a hit with the other kids at school. Blacker's funny book is reminiscent of Angus, Thongs... (see previous review) but is refreshing with it's alternating voice chapters and paragraphs by both girl and boy characters. Both boys and girls will appreciate this British import and the gender discussions that it will generate. Ages 12 and up.

Feedback from Author

Hi all, I haven't been posting as of late but plan on writing about all the great YA books I've read over the summer soon.  In the meantime, check out this great feedback I got from Jackson Pearce.  I emailed her soon after I reviewed Sisters Red and she replied:

Hi Wendy!

I think it's awesome that you and your daughter read it together. So many parents don't read with their kids into their teens…I'm sure it means so much to your daughter. I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for the review!
