Book description
Matthew Burton's life has been fine until his American cousin
crash-lands into it. Sam was only ever a distant rumour, a hippy kid
who travels around the States with his wacky mother. Now he's an
orphan, dumped suddenly on the Burtons' doorstep.
According to Sam, everything in England sucks, and pretty soon he's
making trouble for Matthew and his friends. They want revenge - and
Operation Samantha is born. For Sam - small, long-haired and blond -
is the perfect secret weapon in the war at school between the boys and
a gang of snooty girls. And when Sam sets about rewriting the rules
for how boys and girls behave, he discovers an entirely new side to
his personality. Soon it's not only Sam that is changing . . .
BOY2GIRL is one of the funniest comic novels you will ever read. A
classic cross-dressing comedy like Some Like It Hot, set in a
contemporary school.
