A recently transitioned girl tries to figure out who she is—while trying to manage who everyone else wants her to be—in this funny, unexpected, and affecting new graphic novel from Eisner-nominated writer Magdalene Visaggio and artist Paulina Ganucheau. The last thing Phoebe Zito wants is to be noticed. The newest kid at Sally Ride High School, newly arrived in Los Angeles, and newly transitioned, she's just trying to blend in while she figures out exactly who she is. But with her mom checked out, her dad still adjusting to having a daughter, and no guidebook on how to be a girl, that isn't going to be easy. Enter Mackenzie Ishikawa. She’s the girl who all girls want to be, and all the boys want to be with—and, Mackenzie has decided, Phoebe's new best friend. Mackenzie knows what it takes to survive and thrive as a girl in high school, most of all that no matter who Phoebe wants to be, or who she wants to date, she's going to need someone having her back. Phoebe soon realizes what Mackenzie knows too well: Being true to yourself is going to mean breaking some hearts. But as Phoebe discovers what kind of girl she is—and what kind of girl everyone around her thinks she's supposed to be—she worries one of those hearts will be her own.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Izzard is one of the funniest people alive, a talented actor, a sharp cross-dresser, an experienced marathon runner, and a great writer. You will have to read this if only to find out what a jazz chicken is.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer With his brand of keenly intelligent humor that ranges from world history to historical politics, sexual politics, mad ancient kings, and chickens with guns, Eddie Izzard has built an extraordinary fan base that transcends age, gender, and race. Writing with the same candor and insight evident in his comedy, he reflects on a childhood marked by the loss of his mother, boarding school, and alternative sexuality, as well as a life in comedy, film, politics, running and philanthropy. Honest and generous, Believe Me is an inspired account of a very singular life thus far.

A dashing young physician and devoted husband, father, and son, Olu Adebo looks at his sky and finds every inch of it lined with silver-until new ambitions drive him to New York City. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of residency training, a needlestick from a patient with AIDS places Adebo face-to-face with his past history with the virus. As his life begins to spin out of control, he succumbs to the strong attraction he feels for two best friends who do not appear to care about the symptoms he displays, symptoms he fears are due to the deadly virus. Adebo stands to lose everything that he has spent his entire life cultivating-his marriage, his children, and his very life. Adebo's devoted friends rally and try to save him from himself. Will their coordinated efforts be enough to pull him back from the precipice, or will the ploy of a deadly virus, the secrets kept from his wife, and the poisonous love of two women prove to be too powerful?

This book is quite unique. The reason that it is so is because it is written by her incarnation into the next life, about the previous one. So prove me a liar about reincarnation, by refuting the reality of this book. I must call it fiction, because, I used the information I know as a skeleton, and created a story around it. It is a story of betrayal, revenge, steamy lovemaking, hope, and tragedy. It follows her up to the (SW) spirit world to show what occurs when she commits suicide, and ascends, until I returned.
