A star high school athlete grapples with understanding who he is in this โsmart, urgent, and wonderfully poetic coming out storyโ (Lambda Literary).
From the outside, Brendan Chase seems to have it pretty easy. Heโs a star wrestler, a video game aficionado, and a loving boyfriend to his seemingly perfect match, Vanessa. But on the inside, Brendan struggles to understand why his body feels so wrongโwhy he sometimes fantasizes having long hair, soft skin, and gentle curves. Is there even a name for guys like him? Guys who sometimes want to be girls? Or is Brendan just a freak?
In Freakboyโs razor-sharp verse, Kristin Clark folds three narratives into one powerful story: Brendan trying to understand his sexual identity, Vanessa fighting to keep her and Brendanโs relationship alive, and Angel struggling to confront her demons.
Praise for Freakboy
โAn important story, written with compassion and startling insight. A brave YA debut.โ โEllen Hopkins, New York Timesโbestselling author of the Crank trilogy
โDebut novelist Clark uses free verse to write a gripping story about a complex topic: the challenges of growing up transgender or genderqueer.โ โPublishers Weekly (starred review)
โThis gutsy, tripartite poem explores a wider variety of identitiesโcis-, trans-, genderqueerโthan a simple transgender storyline, making it stand out.โ โKirkus Reviews (starred review)

Kristin Elizabeth Clark always knew she wanted to be a writer. She began dabbling in haiku in the third grade โ this "experimentation" turned out to be a gateway to the harder stuff: book-length verse. She lives and writes in Northern California where she has worked as a child advocate within the juvenile justice system, and as a children's theatre producer. She is a proud volunteer at Project Outlet in Mountain View, CA. Freakboy is her young adult debut.
