So when the league checks his birth certificate and finds the ‘F,’ Spencer is benched while he tries to figure out if he should cheer from the sidelines or come out and publicly fight for his right to play. The only problem in his plan is that no one at Oakley knows he’s trans because he’s passing. Through a first day misunderstanding, and maybe a little push from the coach, Spencer tries out for the boys soccer team, hoping to prove to himself and his family that he is just as capable on the field as he is off. Sure, he is a proud nerd and a star soccer player, but being transgender in Ohio has already resulted in him transferring schools. Spencer Harris is hoping to make it through this school year mostly unnoticed.
I may not be well-versed in soccer terminology, but this is not a requirement for enjoying this novel. First, there were two boys on the cover, so I was already in. As I was scanning the shelves of my bookstore, this one jumped out at me for a few reasons. One of my main focuses for this year in reading is to find more books with a diverse cast of characters so that I can support their publication and expand my reading horizons after graduation.
