Comments: At first I expected this to be an autobiography, which actually I guess it thoretically could be based in fact knowing him, but it's just a book about a boy that ends up wearing a dress one day and likes it. I started reading it as a challenge to prove i_am_tre wrong that it couldn't be read in an hour. Aparently she just reads fast but I did finish it in about an hour 15 mins (with a 7 minute gap in the middle for a phone call from my mum). I can certainly relate to it in an off had way, I'm neither a boy or a person who perticulary cares for pretending to be someone they're not, but the theme through it of being happy with yourself no matter what deffinitely runs true.
Overall a lovely book with a true to life theme. I totally reconmend you read it!
