The Boy in the Dress

Twelve-year-old Dennis, a star on his school’s soccer team (“football team” in the book’s British terminology), discovers he loves fashion and dresses. When his friend Lisa convinces him to wear one to school, complete with wig and makeup, he enjoys the experience, until he is found out and kicked off the team right before the big game. Can he and Lisa right this wrong? The denouement stretches credibility a little, but one can’t argue with the warm-hearted message of this fable about difference and acceptance.
