In this YA standalone perfect for fans of Tobly McSmith and Meredith Russo, the first out trans girl at an all-girls school must choose between keeping her head down or blazing a trail.
Tara just wants to be treated like any other girl at Ainsley Academy.
That is, judged on her meritsnot on her transness. But theres no road map for being the first trans girl at an all-girls school. And when she tries to join the Sibyls, an old-fashioned Ainsley sisterhood complete with code names and special privileges, shes thrust into the center of a larger argument about what girlhood means and whether the club should exist at all.
Being the figurehead of a movement isnt something Taras interested in. Shed rather read old speeches and hang out with the Sibyls who are on her sideespecially Felicity, a new friend she thinks could turn into something more. Then the clubs sponsor, a famous alumna, attacks her in the media and turns the selection process into a spectacle.
Taras always found comfort in the power of other peoples words. But when it comes time to fight for herself, will she be able to find her own voice?
