It's the perfect topic for their project, and as they read more, Jesse uncovers shocking revelations in the history of LGBT rights, and the history of their own family.When the school project is cancelled, Jesse knows what they've learned is too important not to share. With friends old and new, Jesse must find their own way to shine a spotlight on a history that mustn't be forgotten.

13-årige Aidan vil gerne være usynlig, men føler sig anderledes. Hvorfor kan han ikke bare være som alle andre?Aidan har fire søstre og kærlige forældre, der har følelserne helt uden på tøjet. Hans bedste ven er helt sin egen og hviler i det, men vennen bliver drillet og udskammet i skolen for at være anderledes. Som om det ikke var nok, skal Aidans mor nu have endnu et barn, men denne gang skal det gives væk. Hun skal være surrogatmor for et homoseksuelt par.Aidan kan slet ikke rumme det - han er nemlig bange for, at han er homoseksuel. Mon Atif og Justin kan se det på ham? Hvordan ved man om man er homoseksuel? Og hvorfor kan han ikke bare være som alle andre?Fængende dannelsesroman for tweens om identitet, køn og selvaccept.En virkelig fin bog om al den usikkerhed man kan have over, hvem man er, og hvor man hører til i verden. Man lever sig virkelig ind i Aidan som person, og man kan se, hvordan hans usikkerhed og frygt skaber afstand mellem ham og de mennesker, der holder af ham. Heldigvis ender Aidan med at acceptere den, han er og også at kunne rumme usikkerheden over måske ikke at vide det helt sikkert. Anbefales varmt til PLC og folkebibliotek.Lektørudtalelsen
