David Piper has always been an outsider. His parents think he’s gay. The school bully thinks he’s a freak. Only his two best friends know the real truth – David wants to be a girl.

On the first day at his new school Leo Denton has one goal – to be invisible. Attracting the attention of the most beautiful girl in year eleven is definitely not part of that plan.

Discuss Containing Books The Art of Being Normal

David longs to be a girl. David is a girl who longs for acceptance.The Art of Being Normal was not what I had expected. I would say that this is a good introduction for someone who wants to know more about life as a transgender kid and adolescent. It is a heartfelt novel, for sure, but not a perfect one.I had difficulties connecting with the characters, especially with David. She is 15 years old if I am not mistaken, but she acts like a 12-year-old. In most situations, David and her friends

You must have heard about The Art of Being Normal by now and, if not, I'm not sure how you have managed to miss it. Published on 1st January, it's one of the most talked about UKYA novels published this year so far, and has certainly set a high standard.Fourteen-year-old David Piper has only told two people his two best friends, Essie and Fox, who have both been incredibly supportive that he has wanted, needed, to be a girl ever since he was a small child. David has written a letter to his

I'm a trans person and when I saw this book I was super excited. It had a cool cover and a premise I was personally interested in.However, once I started reading I was honestly very disappointed.I know that trans people have different experiences and points of view on their gender, but so many things about this book seemed off to me. The book isn't written by a trans person, and that was my first clue. In the blurb: "Two boys." and "David wants to be a girl."Being trans isn't about wanting to be

Lisa Williamson's The Art of Being Normal is a moving, well-written reminder of how brutal, yet how beautiful, the world can be to those who are different.David Piper has really never fit in. Apart from his two best friends, most of his fellow high school students ridicule him for being different. One of the school bullies has called him "Freak Show" since they were younger, but David is willing to wait him out until high school ends. His parents think he is gay, and are waiting for him to

"Normal" kids don't see therapists. "Normal" kids don't have mothers like mine, who tell you life isn't fair with messed-up glee, like the unfairness of life is pretty much the only thing they know for sure. I've spent my whole life being told I'm the complete opposite of "normal". I'm sorry, but I loved this. I don't know why I'm apologizing, since I'm on this website to either hate or love a book no matter what others thought about it, but I feel like this is another one of those books that

Have you ever finished a book and thoughtthat it was IMPORTANT? That the story thats being told is one that everyone should hear? Thats how I felt about The Art of Being Normal. I feel like everyone NEEDS to read this. Its an important message about our society today. And it its just a damn fine book, too.David has a secret. He hasnt told his family. He hasnt come out to the world with it. Only his best friends, and his trusty journal know the truth. If he could be anything in the worldhed want

After reading reviews by transgender readers, I'm lowering my rate of this book.
