Description
"This is more than just a 'message' book about how we all need to be more understanding of each other. The imaginative premise is wrapped around a moving story about gender, identity, friendship, bravery, rebellion vs. conformity, and thinking outside the box."โSchool Library Journal"Changers should appeal to a broad demographic. Teenagers, after all, are the world's leading experts on trying on, and then promptly discarding, new identities."โNew York Times
Changers Book Two: Oryon in the four-part Changers series for young adults finds our hero Ethan/Drew on the eve of her second metamorphosisโinto Oryon, a skinny, African American skater boy with more swagger than he knows what to do with. Enter a mess of trouble from the Changers Council, the closed-minded Abiders, the Radical Changers (RaChas), and his best friend Audreyโat least she was his best friend when Oryon was Drewโand now, it's complicated.
But that's life (and life, and life, and life) for Changers, an ancient race of humans who must live out each year of high school as a completely different person. Before next summer, Oryon will learn what it means to be truly loved, scared spitless, and at the center of a burgeoning national culture war. Most of all, he will learn again how much the eyes of the world try to shape you into what they seeโand how only when you resist do you clearly begin to see yourself. ISBN:9780349002446
