[CLOSED] Win NEXT's March book of the month

It’s a great comfort that Claude is surrounded by love. His grandmother assures him, “I will love you even if you wear a hat made out of toe cheese” and his parents will do anything in their power to help their son find his place in the world – even if it means moving the family 3000km to Seattle to start afresh. Claude disappears in the move. In his new city, he is a she and she is Poppy. For the first time in her life, how she feels on the inside is reflected by what she is on the outside. Rosie and Penn choose not to disclose Poppy’s secret in Seattle. It works a treat until Poppy reaches puberty. Author Frankel is, herself, the mother of a transgender child. Her deep understanding and compassion flow through into the pages of this thought-provoking – albeit sometimes a little preachy – novel.
