Description
Brendan Chase's life appears to be one of ease and perfection. As a star wrestler and loving partner, he seems to have it all. However, beneath the surface, Brendan struggles with his identity and sense of self. In this powerful novel in verse, Kristin Clark explores the complexities of growing up as a genderqueer teenager, navigating relationships, and confronting one's own demons. The story is told from three perspectives: Brendan's, his girlfriend Vanessa's, and Angel's, a woman struggling to come to terms with her past. Through its razor-sharp free verse, Freakboy sheds light on the challenges of being transgender or genderqueer, offering a gripping and thought-provoking read for those looking to understand this complex topic.
