THE FIRST THING YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ME IS: AM I A BOY, OR AM I A GIRL?

Riley Cavanaugh is many things: Punk rock. Snorky. Rebellious. And gender fluid. Some days Riley identifies as a boy, and others as a girl. But Riley isn't exactly out yet. And between starting a new school and having a congressman father running for reelection in uber-conservative Orange County, the pressure -- media and otherwise -- is building up in Riley's so-called "normal" life.

On the advice of a therapist, Riley starts an anonymous blog to vent those pent-up feelings and tell the truth of what it's REALLY like to be gender fluid. But just as Riley's starting to settle in at school-- even developing feelings for a mysterious outcast -- the blog goes viral, and an unnamed commenter discovers Riley's real identity, threatening exposure. And Riley must make a choice: walk away from what the blog has created -- a lifeline, new friends, a cause to believe in -- or stand up, come out, and risk everything.

From debut author Jeff Garvin tomes a powerful and uplifting portrait of a modern teen struggling with high school, relationships, and what it means to be a person.
