The Art of Being Normal

David Piper has always felt like an outsider. His parents suspect he is gay, and the school bully brands him a freak. Only his two closest friends know the real truth: David longs to become a girl. On his first day at a new school, Leo Denton longs to vanish into the background—hardly the plan for winning over the class's most beautiful girl. When Leo steps in to defend David during a fight, an unlikely friendship blossoms. But secrets at Eden Park School tend to surface, and soon everyone learns that Leo used to be a girl. As David prepares to come out to his family and begin his gender transition, and as Leo grapples with being defined by his past, they discover in each other the support they need to navigate life as transgender teens and to decide for themselves what normal really means.
