Sammy Stewart is intelligent and kind. She is insecure. She is crazy about boys. Sammy is a typical teenage girl in every way but one: she was born in a boy's body. From an early age, Sammy knew she was not a boy. Everything but her body screamed girl, yet no one listened. For years, she was misunderstood by everyone in her life and she never expected the situation to change. But when Allie Riley, the hot new girl in school, struts into homeroom on the first day of sophomore year and slides into the seat in front of Sammy, everything changes. In Allie, Sammy finds the person she has never had: a true friend who accepts her unconditionally. Together, Sammy and Allie navigate the pitfalls and adventures of high school and teenage life, realizing along the way that the price to be paid for being true to yourself is steep, but absolutely necessary, and that things are seldom, if ever, as they seem.
