My Brother's name is Jessica

From the author who wrote The boy in the Stripped Pyjamas comes a book written from the point of view of young teenager Sam who has always idolised his older brother Jason.
Jason is kind, popular, gifted at football and has a lovely girlfriend.

One evening Jason tells his family a secret he has kept his whole life. He tells them that he is not a boy but a girl. Sadly, the family don't take this news very well and the secret Jason has been holding onto for so long threatens to tear the family apart.

My Brother's Name is Jessica shines a much-needed spotlight on the need for empathy, compasssion and the importance for being there for someone coming out as transgender.
