15 year old Spencer is a proud nerd, an awesome big brother, a soccer champion and he’s transgender. After a year of bullying he moves schools and gets a fresh start, where he chooses to not disclose that he’s transgender. But when a discriminatory law forces his coach to bench, Spencer is forced to make a choice, watch from the benches or fight for his right to play. Even if he has to come out to everyone, including the guy he likes.

This book is just full of so much joy! Trans joy, black joy, queer joy, just 🥰🥰🥰 This was the latest pick for the queer book club I’m in and it was a great excuse to finally read this one! I’m not a big sports person, so the idea of reading a soccer themed book wasn’t something I thought I’d love and Fitzsimons proved me delightfully wrong! 😍😍 Spencer’s such a sweet kid and the support from all those who love him is just so heartwarming.
