About the book:

Liv knows he’s meant to be a boy, so why does his school force him to wear a skirt?

Okay, here goes. My name is Liv (not Olivia). I’m not technically a girl. I’m transgender. Which is a bit like being a Transformer, only not quite as cool because I probably won’t get to save the world one day.

Liv knows he’s meant to be a boy. But with his new private school’s strict dress code, he can’t even wear pants. Only skirts. So the Pants Project begins. The only way for Liv to get what he wants is to go after it himself, and on the way to changing his school’s policies, he may end up changing his own life.
