"This strong entry in the series is a good choice for readers looking
for books about friendship, identity, and LGBTQ issues." — School
Library Journal When we last saw Oryon Small he was kidnapped and
locked in a basement, his best friend Chase dying in his arms. In Book
Three of the groundbreaking Changers series, Oryon awakens as Kim
Cruz, an Asian American girl whose body looks nothing like she
expected or desired. Where Changers Book One: Drew dealt primarily
with issues of gender and bias, and Changers Book Two: Oryon explored
issues concerning race and bigotry, Changers Book Three: Kim tackles
the thorny, less straightforward subjects of body shaming,
self-esteem, grief, mental illness, and how the expectations of the
outside world can't help but color the way we see ourselves.
Kim—smart, funny, and finally fed up with the cards she's been
dealt—is finding out that friends change, love doesn't always mean
forever, and growing up means living your truth, even if it isn't
pretty. "Kim's voice and the banter between characters are funny, and
they feel real. The identity and marginalization issues loom large,
but instead of being shoehorned into side characters, they're scooped
up and taken into a deeper, entertaining, fantastic narrative." —
