A special edition complete with an uncommon dustjacket. Orlando change one of our lives at 15! Before there were hundreds of resources online, before the expansive definitions of queerness, and before the internet, one of us picked up this books and had their mind split open with possibilities. A truly radical narrative, pushing the boundaries of gender and genre.
