gender blender


Nelson, B. (2006). Gender blender. New York: Delacorte Press.
ISBN: 978-0553376036

Call it Freaky Friday, the next generation. Tom and Emma, two sixth grade rivals, wake up one morning to discover they've switched bodies. The antics that ensue are an exploration of sex and gender, and what it means to be a girl or boy in middle school. A bit clunky at times, with language that is probably most appropriate for the 10+ set, Gender Blender is nothing if not thought-provoking. The publisher's website provides some additional fun.
