Description: What if who you are on the outside doesn't match who you are on the inside? Grayson Sender has been holding onto a secret for what seems like forever:  he  is a girl on the inside, stuck in the wrong gender s body. The weight of this secret is crushing, but sharing it would mean facing ridicule, scorn, rejection, or worse. Despite the risks, Grayson s true self itches to break free. Will new strength from an unexpected friendship and a caring teacher s wisdom be enough to help Grayson step into the spotlight she was born to inhabit?

Hiding the truth about his awareness that he is a girl trapped inside a male body, Grayson finds new strength to embrace his true identity from an unexpected friendship and a supportive teacher.
