Author: Robin Reardon
Everything 16-year-old Simon Fitzroy-Hunt loves is in England. There’s his school, his boyfriend, his cat, and especially Oxford University, which Simon plans to attend just as his beloved late father planned. But all of Simon’s certainties come crashing down when his mother remarries and drags him to Boston. Furious and unforgiving, Simon finds plenty to resent in America. His stepsister is overindulged by her father and struggling with Asperger syndrome. And Simon’s school project—coaching a young student for the national Spelling Bee—hits a complication when 11-year-old Toby makes a confession: there’s a girl trapped inside his body, and her name is Kay. Helping Kay find her way begins changing Simon, too, presenting different perspectives and revealing a strength that’s gone untapped until now. And as the life he’s known, and the future he envisioned, slips further away each day, he realizes he can either lose his direction entirely, or forge a new—and perhaps even better—path.
