Formally titled George, this is the unforgettable
debut from Alex Gino
"Allow me to introduce you to a remarkable book, full of love,
wonder, hope, and the importance of getting to be who you were
meant to be. You must read this." - David Levithan, author
of Every Day and editor of George.

When people look at George, they think they see a boy.


But she knows she's not a boy. She knows she's a girl.

George thinks she'll have to keep this a secret forever. Then
her teacher announces that their class play is going to be Charlotte's
Web. George really, really, REALLY wants to play Charlotte.
But the teacher says she can't even try out for the part . . . because
she's a boy.
