"An excellent sequel . . . This installment raises the stakes, making the story not just about physical and emotional transformation, but about survival." -School Library Journal Changers Book Two: Oryon in the four-part Changers Series for young adults finds our hero Ethan/Drew on the eve of her second metamorphosis-into Oryon, a skinny African American skater boy with more swagger than he knows what to do with. Enter a mess of trouble from the Changers Council, the closed-minded Abiders, the Radical Changers (Ra Chas), and his best friend Audrey-at least she was his best friend when Oryon was Drew-and now, it’s complicated.But that’s life (and life, and life, and life) for Changers, an ancient race of humans who must live out each year of high school as a completely different person. Before next summer, Oryon will learn what it means to be truly loved, scared spitless, and at the center of a burgeoning national culture war. Most of all, he will learn again how much the eyes of the world try to shape you into what they see-and how only when you resist do you clearly begin to see yourself."This completely unique perspective of someone experiencing life as part of a less privileged group of people makes this book pretty special . . . good fun to read." -The Guardian"Oryon’s humor and insight will keep readers turning pages." -Kirkus Reviews"A fun yet thought-provoking young-adult story . . . Dealing with themes of difference, loyalty, resisting authority, and finding one’s true self, this book is a fun and easy read." -Out Smart
