Alex is ready for things to change, in a big way. Everyone seems to think she's a boy, but for Alex the whole boy/girl thing isn't as simple as either/or, and when she decides girl is closer to the truth, no one knows how to react, least of all her parents. Undeterred, Alex begins to create a new identity for herself: ditching one school, enrolling in another, and throwing out most of her clothes. But the other Alex-the boy Alex-has a lot to say about that.
Heartbreaking and droll in equal measures, Alex As Well by Alyssa Brugman is a brilliantly told story about being intersex, exploring gender and sexuality, navigating friendships, and finding a place to belong.

“The story of biological intersex experience is rarely told, and this one is well related, with balanced attention to the challenges it poses for parents, peers, and the intersex person; the inclusion of characters who respect the stops, starts, missteps and courage of teens negotiating their gender identities adds an additional layer of sensitivity.” ―BCCB
“This slim but thought-provoking Australian import follows a 14-year-old intersex teen making the transition to being a girl.” ―Booklist

“Brugman's beautiful writing offers . . . fearless honesty as well as . . . strong insight and a delightful sense of humour. . . . Readers of authors such as John Green will devour this novel.” ―Junior Bookseller & Publisher
