The Passing Playbook

€8.90

Love, Simon meets Friday Night Lights in this feelgood LGBTQ+ romance about a trans teen torn between standing up for his rights and staying stealth. 'A sharply observant and vividly drawn debut. I loved every minute I spent in this story' - Becky AlbertalliFifteen-year-old Spencer Harris is a proud nerd, an awesome big brother and a Messi-in-training.

He's also transgender. After transitioning at his old school leads to a year of bullying, Spencer gets a fresh start at Oakley, the most liberal private school in Ohio. At Oakley, Spencer seems to have it all: more accepting classmates, a decent shot at a starting position on the boy's soccer team, great new friends, and maybe even something more than friendship with one of his teammates.

The problem is, no one at Oakley knows Spencer is trans - he's passing. So when a discriminatory law forces Spencer's coach to bench him after he discovers the 'F' on Spencer's birth certificate, Spencer has to make a choice: cheer his team on from the sidelines or publicly fight for his right to play, even if it means coming out to everyone - including the guy he's falling for.

Product description

"With love, Simon" satiekas ar "Friday Night Lights" šajā lieliskajā LGBTQ + romantiskajā grāmatā par trans-pusaudzi, kas izcīna iekšēju cīņu starp iestāšanos par savām tiesībām un slepenības saglabāšanu.

"Krasi vērīga un spilgti iezīmēta debija. Man patika katra minūte, ko pavadīju šajā stāstā.”- Bekijs Albertalli.

Piecpadsmit gadus vecais Spensers Hariss ir lepns nūģis, lielisks lielais brālis un topošais Messi.

Viņš ir arī transpersona. Pēc tam, kad klasesbiedri vecajā skolā nonāk pie iebiedēšanas, Spensers iegūst jaunu sākumu Ouklijā, liberālākajā privātajā skolā Ohaijo. Šķiet, ka Ouklijā Spenseram ir viss: vairāk pieņemamu klasesbiedru, pienācīgs metiens un atmosfēra futbola komandā, lieliski jauni draugi un varbūt pat kaut kas vairāk nekā draudzība ar kādu no komandas biedriem.

Problēma ir tāda, ka Ouklijā neviens nezina, ka Spensers ir transpersona - viņš to slēpj. Tagad, kad diskriminējošs likums liek Spensera trenerim nosūtīt viņu uz rezervistu soliņu pēc tam, kad viņš ir atradis Spensera dzimšanas apliecību un uzzinājis, ka viņš piedzimis kā meitene, Spenseram ir jāizdara izvēle: uzmundrināt komandu no malas vai publiski cīnīties par savām tiesībām spēlēt, pat ja tas nozīmē, ka visiem jāatklāj savs rūpīgi glabātais noslēpums - arī puisim, kurš viņam patīk.
