Product Description
Joanies mom wants her to act more "like a girl," but who can play basketball in a skirt and cute plastic sandals? When Joanies family moves to a new town, a typo on the school records makes her "John" instead of "Joan," and she jumps at the chance to reinvent herself. But how long can she keep pretending? And even if she could keep her identity secret, would she want to? Being a boy is no walk in the park! Francess Lantz seamlessly weaves great sports action, a compelling family drama, and Joanies secret stories about SuperKid into a funny, thought-provoking novel about friendship and self-discovery.

Really Great August 27, 2006

I hang out with boys sometimes, so I know how Joanie feels about being treated like a GIRL. It's like sharing a secret with her when you hear about how she keeps her mom from knowing at school,she's a boy. All the things about Amigo's sickness are actually a little scary,but the SuperKid stories make up for that. I don't think boys will envision this as a "girl" book at all.
