A fresh and charmingly narrated look at teens and gender.
--Kirkus Reviews
Everyone should read this, regardless of age. The book discusses
important topics about growing into your skin (literally and
physically), and gender identity...Go get a copy of this right
now.
--Huffington Post Part of School Library Journal's What's Hot in YA
Roundup "Changing bodies, developing personalities, forays into
adult activities--where was this book circa the early 2000s when I
needed it? But something tells me my adult self will learn a thing
or to from it as well."
--Barnes & Noble Blog/Indie Books Roundup Recommended by
June Thomas on Slate Radio's Double X Gabfest "The Coopers have a
strong ear for teenager-isms, and the exploration of Drew's ups and
downs is eminently believable . . . the slow build of a strong
character--with the lure of something totally new coming up
next--will leave readers ready for the next Change in this
line-up."
--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "A perfect read
for a young adult: warm and humorous without being superficial or
saccharine, engaging real issues of teenage life with ease and
natural grace, and offering an element of fantasy accurately
reflecting the wonder and terror of growing up."
--Chapter 16/The Knoxville News Sentinel "An excellent look
at gender and identity and the teenage experience."
--Tor.com "A must read for every teen."
--I'd So Rather Be Reading "Changers Book One really stole my
heart."
--Bookcharmed Love it. Love it, love it, love it. Seriously.
Read this.
--The Best Books Ever This is a transcendent book and I
absolutely recommend it.
--Heaven to Earth Reviews This is one of the most creative
concepts I have heard about, so I knew I would have to read it
right away! I was worried that the execution wouldn't be as good as
the concept, but it was amazing...I cannot wait to read the rest of
the books in this series.
--Pub Writes 4 huge stars. Maybe even 4.5. I really enjoyed
this book, and can't wait to read the rest of the series!
--The Overstuffed Bookcase I couldn't put it down. I even
read it in the dark. Probably not the best idea since my vision is
already bad. But hey! good books deserve sacrifices.
--Paper Boat Sails Very cool!
--Twinja Book Reviews Changers Book One really stole my
heart.
--Bookcharmed This first book in the Changers series
explores Ethan/Drew's first steps along the perilous journey to
become his/her true self and discover how he's meant to change the
world.
--Books YA Love I was thrilled to discover a book that deals
with issues of identity and belonging with so much heart and, more
importantly, humor . . . Changers Book One: Drew changed the
way I think.
--Clay Aiken, singer/UNICEF ambassador One of the Top 10
2014 Books I am Excited to Read, Plays Well With Books
(blog) Change. It's the one universal thing that everyone goes
through, especially in high school. Changers Book One: Drew
ratchets that up a notch and kicks open the door, with both humor
and panache. Big questions and equally big highs (laughs) and lows
(cries). And you thought high school was awkward before!
--Kimberly Pauley, author of Sucks to Be Me More

sentences.
--Frank McCourt, author of Angela's Ashes T Cooper
has an affinity for creative liberties, even in anything-goes
21st-century fiction, liberties of a stunning sort . . .
--Seattle Post-Intelligencer Allison Glock makes it looks easy.
--Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray,
Love
