Teen Book Review by Stephanie
Parrotfish by Ellen Wittlinger
Parrotfish  is a story about Angela who cuts her hair short one day,  buys boys' clothes and shoes, and changes her name to Grady.   Grady struggles to find out where he fits in, as he deals with the hardship of a best friend who won't acknowledge him in public, a dad who won't talk about it, and a mom and sister who are embarassed by him.
