A good coming of age story. Alyx is an intersexual, neither a boy nor a girl. Her parents raise her as a boy. But she gets bullied and beat up. After her dad dies, and she gets pummeled once again, Alyx and her mom decide to move to Milwaukee and have a fresh start. She joins the basketball team. Enter the mean girl, Pepper. This is a good book giving lessons of being true to who you are and how to deal with people who bully. A good book to have in a high school library. ( )
