Kim

"Changers should appeal to a broad demographic. Teenagers, after all, are the world's leading experts on trying on, and then promptly discarding, new identities." ?New York Times Book Review

In Book Three of this acclaimed YA series, Oryon Small transforms into Kim, an Asian American girl who must learn to separate body image from self-worth.

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, an Asian-American girl who 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, 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.
