Book Talk:
Logan has just been dumped by his long term high school
girlfriend who has left him still a virgin at age 18 and he’s not happy about
it. When a new girl named Sage moves
into town with her curly red hair, silky smooth skin and flirtatious ways,
Logan decides maybe it’s time to move on.
But he quickly learns there is more to Sage than meets the eye, that she
was actually born a HE, and now Logan needs to quickly figure out what it means
when a straight guy has just made out with a girl who’s ALMOST PERFECT, and how
no one can ever find out.
NOTE: This book is a great introduction to the difficulties facing transgender teens in North America as well as the challenges presented to their friends, family and lovers. Brian Katcher leaves a detailed Author's Note at the end of the novel urging real-life Sages to reach out for help and know that there are special associations and support groups for them, like TNET and their friends and families, like PFLAG.
