    About this ebook

    When the couple next door asks Jay to babysit, he can't help wondering… why him? Did they hire Jay as some kind of queer role model because they suspect little Sarah is gay?  

    At the park, when Sarah and Jay run across the guy he's been pseudo-stalking, Sarah insists she’s a boy. Darien’s sheer sexiness makes Jay pretty brain-dead, and he can't think what to talk about except how Sarah wants everyone to call her Frank.  The funny kid reminds Darien of his transgender cousin.  Could Sarah be trans, too? Should Jay talk to her parents?  What if they say it's none of his business?  What if they fire him?  

    Well, then he'll just have to spend his summer watching Darien work in the park, sweaty and shirtless...

    Foxglove's fiction has been called SPECTACULAR by Rainbow Reviews and UNFORGETTABLE by USA TODAY.
