The success of their performance of The Rose of Versailles in the fifth grade - in which the boys played the women and the girls played the men - inspires our protagonists to put on another gender-bending play for the junior-high school festival. This time they do a riff on Romeo and Juliet, with generous helpings of fantasy and mystery. And, with tensions and crushes plaguing the production, the cast is to be decided by fate, with names drawn randomly.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51695827714321,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51695828074769,"sku":"CIN1606997076G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53067451007249,"sku":"CIN1606997076VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1606997076.jpg?v=1781170977"},{"product_id":"wandering-son-book-five-book-shimura-takako-9781606996478","title":"Wandering Son: Book Five","description":"In the latest volume of this acclaimed series about transgender kids exploring their unfolding identities, a big event is reached: the junior high school entrance ceremony!

Yet one girl - Sarashia Chizuru - draws stares, whispers and pointed fingers, because this long-haired beauty is wearing a boy's uniform.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53039159902481,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53039160099089,"sku":"CIN1606996479G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781606996478.jpg?v=1781171776"},{"product_id":"wandering-son-volumes-one-two-book-shimura-takako-9798875000737","title":"Wandering Son Volumes One \u0026 Two","description":"Middle School. The threshold to puberty, and the beginning of the end of childhood innocence. Shuichi Nitori and his new friend Yoshino Takatsuki have happy homes, loving families, and are well liked by their classmates. But they share a secret that further complicates a time of life that is awkward for anyone: Shuichi is a boy who wants to be a girl, and Yoshino is a girl who wants to be a boy. Celebrated manga artist Shimura Takako (Even Though We're Adults (Seven Seas Entertainment)) portrays Shuishi and Yoshino's journey with affection, sensitivity, and gentle humour as they figure out their gender identity and take tentative, age-appropriate steps toward transitioning. This new paperback edition collects the first two volumes of Wandering Son. In Volume One, Shuichi and Yoshino covertly experiment with cross-dressing and new hairstyles, and get to express their identities when the class puts on a gender-bent play. In Volume Two, our protagonists make supportive new friends with the grown-up Yuki-san, a trans woman who they look up to as a mentor, and their classmate Saori, who becomes a queer ally to Shuichi. A poignant coming-of-age story, Wandering Son is a sophisticated work of literary manga and was adapted into a popular anime series in 2011.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53613186253073,"sku":"NGR9798875000737","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798875000737.jpg?v=1780316774"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/wandering-son-ser-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
