    About this audiobook

    Nominated for the Lambda Literary Award and the Foreword Reviews' INDIE Book of the Year

    First place winner of the Wisconsin Council of Writers' Tofte/Wright Children's Literature Award

    Fifteen-year-old Alyx Atlas was raised as a boy, yet she knows something others don’t. She’s a girl. And after her dad dies, it becomes painfully obvious that she must prove it now?to herself and to the world. Born with ambiguous genitalia, Alyx has always felt a little different. But it’s after she sustains a terrible beating behind a 7-Eleven that she and her mother pack up their belongings and move from California to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to start a new life?and Alyx begins over again, this time as a girl.

    Alyx quickly makes new friends, earns a spot on the girls’ varsity basketball team, and for the first time in her life feels like she fits in. That is, until her prowess on the court proves too much for the jealous, hotheaded Pepper Pitmani, who sets out to uncover Alyx’s secret. A dangerous game of Truth or Dare exposes Alyx’s difference and will disqualify her entire basketball team from competing in the state championships unless Alyx can prove, once and for all, that she is a girl. But will Alyx find the courage to stand up for the truth of her personhood, or will she do what she’s always done?run away? Whatever she decides, she knows there’s much more at stake than a championship win.

    A stunning debut young adult novel from Bridget Birdsall, Double Exposure brings to light complex gender issues, teenage insecurities, and overcoming all obstacles.

      A good coming of age story. Alyx is an intersexual, neither a boy nor a girl. Her parents raise her as a boy. But she gets bullied and beat up. After her dad dies, and she gets pummeled once again, Alyx and her mom decide to move to Milwaukee and have a fresh start. She joins the basketball team. Enter the mean girl, Pepper. This is a good book giving lessons of being true to who you are and how to deal with people who bully. A good book to have in a high school library.
