Everyone seems to think she's a boy, but for Alex the whole boy/girl thing isn't as simple as either/or, and when she decides girl is closer to the truth, no one knows how to react, least of all her parents. Undeterred, Alex begins to create a new identity for herself: ditching one school, enrolling in another, and throwing out most of her clothes. But the other Alex-the boy Alex-has a lot to say about that.Heartbreaking and droll in equal measures, Alex As Well by Alyssa Brugman is a brilliantly told story about being intersex, exploring gender and sexuality, navigating friendships, and finding a place to belong.“This book tackles the delicate topic of being intersex and gives a lot of insight into the problems associated with it, while still being a very enjoyable fiction read.” ―The Guardian"Readers of authors such as John Green will devour this novel.” ―Junior Bookseller & Publisher EAN: 9781250073631 Package Dimensions: 8.4 x 5.9 x 0.7 inches Languages: EnglishNew York Times No.1 Best Seller in 1934New York Times No.1 Best Seller in 1939 Show more
