Celebrate Pride every day with the teen advocate, trailblazer, and reality show star Jazz Jennings--one of Time Magazine's "25 Most Influential Teens" of the year.

"Jazz is one of the transgender community's most important activists." --Cosmopolitan

"A role model for teens everywhere." --Seventeen

At the age of five, Jazz Jennings's transition to life as a girl put her in the public spotlight after she shared her story on national television. She's since become one of the most recognizable and prominent advocates for transgender teens, through her TV show, interviews, and social media.

Jazz's openness has led to bullying and mistreatment from those who don't understand her choices. She's fought for the right to use the girls' bathroom and to play on a girls' soccer team, paving the way for others. And in this book, Jazz faces an even greater struggle--dealing with the physical and social stresses of being a teen. But being on the front lines of trans activism doesn't stop Jazz from experiencing the joys of growing up, from day camp to first dates.

Jazz Jennings is one of the youngest and most prominent voices in the national discussion about gender identity. This remarkable memoir is a testament to the power of accepting yourself, learning to live an authentic life, and helping everyone to embrace their own truths.
