In this YA standalone perfect for fans of Tobly McSmith and Meredith Russo, the first out trans girl at an all-girls school must choose between keeping her head down or blazing a trail.Tara just wants to be treated like any other girl at Ainsley Academy.That is, judged on her merits-not on her transness. But theres no road map for being the first trans girl at an all-girls school. And when she tries to join the Sibyls, an old-fashioned Ainsley sisterhood complete with code names and special privileges, shes thrust into the center of a larger argument about what girlhood means and whether the club should exist at all.Being the figurehead of a movement isnt something Taras interested in. Shed rather read old speeches and hang out with the Sibyls who are on her side-especially Felicity, a new friend she thinks could turn into something more. Then the clubs sponsor, a famous alumna, attacks her in the media and turns the selection process into a spectacle.Taras always found comfort in the power of other peoples words. But when it comes time to fight for herself, will she be able to find her own voice?
