About this title

Synopsis:

Twelve-year-old choir boy Berry will stop at nothing to stop his voice from changing--even subjecting himself to hormone treatments--but when his extreme measures attract the attention of his family, the boy finds himself deeply embroiled in complex gender issues.

Review:

"Upbeat attitude....and a pervasive sense of humour. Berry's unconventional coming of age is at heart no different from that of any teen who feels like an outsider, and it's a journey almost anyone can relate to." - San Francisco Chronicle "A daring, strange, emotionally complex, and completely engrossing novel. Anyone who's ever felt slightly alien, oddball, or uneven will love its character, Berry, and its author, Charlie Anders." - Scott Heim, author of Mysterious Skin "A coming-of-age tale with universal resonance that also manages to expand our understanding of the word 'universal.'" - New York Press"
