Fifteen-year-old Spencer Harris is a proud nerd, an awesome big brother, and a David Beckham in training. He's also transgender. After transitioning at his old school leads to a year of isolation and bullying, Spencer gets a fresh start at Oakley, the most liberal private school in Ohio.
At Oakley, Spencer seems to have it all: more accepting classmates, a decent shot at a starting position on the boy's soccer team, great new friends, and maybe even something more than friendship with one of his teammates. The problem is, no one at Oakley knows Spencer is trans--he's passing. So when a discriminatory law forces Spencer's coach to bench him after he discovers the "F" on Spencer's birth certificate, Spencer has to make a choice: cheer his team on from the sidelines or publicly fight for his right to play, even though it would mean coming out to everyone-- including the guy he's falling for.

Intersecting identities: Spencer is a trans guy who is also Black/biracial and queer, important intersections of identity that are incredibly underrepresented in the YA canon.
Not into sports? No problem: At its heart, this is a feel-good contemporary with a super-sweet queer romance at the center of it. Yes, much of the action takes place on the pitch, but like the cult classic film Bend It Like Beckham, this book isn't just for soccer fans.
Honest yet hopeful: This novel doesn't sugarcoat the challenges of growing up with multiple marginalized identities, but it never makes its characters suffer. It's one of those books that leaves readers feeling seen and optimistic about the future.
