Boy2Girl by Terence Blacker

2.0

I often look for books that play with gender stereotypes. This book did just that. A young and very tough teen finds a sense of freedom and power when he decides to go to his new school dressed as a girl. I did like this book, but the author just couldn't seem to let go of most of the stereotypes about boys and girls. The girls were backstabbing gossips and the boys were emotionally stunted. Even the main character who was crossdressing was still unable to break free from stereotypical boy behavior and in the end I think it just reinforced the idea that all boys are like this and all girls are like that. I would love to see a book that really breaks the stereotypes, but I have not found one yet.
