Enter a mess of trouble from the Changers Council, the closed-minded Abiders, the Radical Changers (RaChas), and his best friend Audrey--at least she was his best friend when Oryon was Drew--and now, it's complicated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But that's life (and life, and life, and life) for Changers, an ancient race of humans who must live out each year of high school as a completely different person. Before next summer, Oryon will learn what it means to be truly loved, scared spitless, and at the center of a burgeoning national culture war. Most of all, he will learn again how much the eyes of the world try to shape you into what they see--and how only when you resist do you clearly begin to see yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Sheep","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51172874584375,"sku":"9781617753077","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/9926\/1239\/files\/imageloader_8e635099-f1cf-4508-b257-2cf88a2a88ca.jpg?v=1759750072","url":"https:\/\/shop.queerbooks.com\/products\/changers-book-two-oryon","provider":"Philly AIDS Thrift @ Giovanni's Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
