A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'The book ended perfectly which tops off my overall ten out of ten opinion for this novel.' --Summer Aurora, theguardian.com'...books like Alex As Well need to exist, and they need to be thrust into the hands of high school students as much as humanly possible. [Alyssa Brugman's] writing is immersive and honest, giving a voice to thousands of human beings currently struggling with the same problems as Alex.' --Wondrous Reads'This is an incredibly tender, funny, and powerful novel about questioning identity, exploring gender and sexuality and navigating friendships and finding a place to belong. It's a novel that you will want to talk about long after you've read the final page. A real coming-of-age novel that will touch the heart of all who read it and surprise you along the way.' --Lovereading4kids'Honestly, honestly, honestly: I truly loved this novel. It's brave and important in that it tackles a difficult and taboo subject without fear or compromise.' --Jill, thebookbag.co.uk'I picked this up just to read the first page, and a little while later I d finished, and I was BLOWN AWAY! Alex As Well is a poignant, funny but also emotional story that will stay with me a long time. Highly recommended.' --Bibliomaniac Alex As Well is a great story about figuring out who you are and standing up for the right to be that person. --Luna's Little Library'An interesting, stereotype smashing, thought-provoking gem of a book' --Chali, To Another World Book Blog 'If there were such a thing as the perfect YA novel, Alex As Well would be it... a treasure of a novel, with laugh out loud moments.' --Jackson Nash, Lambda Literacy

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Why does it matter whether I am a boy or a girl? But it does...It really, really matters. When Alex was born, the doctors described him as sexually ambiguous , with both male and female reproductive organs. For the last fourteen years his parents have raised Alex as a boy. They dressed him in boys clothes, sent him to a boys school and gave him medication to help regulate his hormones. But last night at dinner, Alex made an announcement, three words that would change everything: 'I'm a girl.' And when Alex sets about changing her life her wardrobe, her school, her entire identity no one knows how to react, least of all her parents.
