Educating Simon
Robin Reardon
Is the letter Z always dark purple? Have you ever wished the agonizing death of the blue ringed octopus' bite on anyone?
And if you were gay, would that help you understand a young transgender girl?
Everything sixteen-year-old Simon Fitzroy-Hunt loves is in England.There's his school, his boyfriend, his cat, and especially Oxford University, which Simon plans to attend just as his beloved late father planned. But all of Simon's certainties come crashing down when his mother remarries and drags him to Boston with her.
Furious and unforgiving, Simon finds plenty to resent in America. His stepsister, Persie, is overindulged by
her father and struggling with Asperger syndrome. And Simon's school project--coaching a young student for the national Spelling Bee--hits a complication when eleven-year-old Toby makes a there's a girl trapped inside his body, and her name is Kay.
Helping Kay find her way begins changing Simon too,opening him to different perspectives, revealing a strength that's gone untapped until now. And as the life he's known and the future he envisioned slip further away each day, he realizes he can either lose his direction entirely or forge a new--and
perhaps even better--path.
