What is The Sign Around My Neck about?

Can a boy who knows his body is wrong convince his parents he's right?The Sign Around My Neck introduces us to Lu, a transgender boy who has just accepted his identity. Despite being born in a girl's body, his spirit can't take the flowery blouses and bras his mother pushes on him, and his heart can't suffer the feminine expectations he knows he'll never meet. It's a good thing he's got friends because his mother doesn't get him.When his best friend, Maddie, turns out be in on a classroom joke that makes him feel awful, Lu decides to tell her the truth: He's really a boy inside. Totally unfazed, Maddie is more interested in dragging Lu along to help her buy some pet mice. Ben and Asher aren't surprised either, and knowing them both helps Lu to see there are many ways to be a boy.His older cousin, Cameron, shares his love of poetry with Lu, who writes poems himself. Cam doesn't fit in at his school, so he gets bullied. One night, after a particularly bad day for both of them, Cam sends Lu a verse of poetry - something he does regularly - but Lu, too wrapped up in his own problems, neglects to read it until the next morning. By then, it's too late. Cam has done something terrible.Wit
