Write-Up About Books The Boy in the Dress

well, no no no. I thought it was a story like George by Alex Gino. while George was transgender, Dennis is a boy that likes dresses because they reminds him of his mom that abandoned the family. That is also a strange detail. he has only good memories of his mom and one day she was gone, left her husband and abandoned 2 young kids? Anyway, Dennis meets Lisa and they share their interest in fashion. Dennis says it wasn't fair that boys clothes are boring and Lisa suggests he wears a dress she

On a trip to England, I saw this book prominently displayed along with Walliam's other books. I've never heard of that author before, but I was instantly hit with nostalgia, because when I was a young girl living in England, I LOVED Roald Dahl's books, and, at a first glance, Walliam's books reminded me of those (especially this book, having been illustrated by Quentin Blake). I was also very intrigued by the premise... a book about cross-dressing for a middle-grade audience? I was very curious

The boring and lonely life of 12-year-old Dennis, who still mourns his mom's leaving and his dad's depression, is lightened only by soccer playing and (a more recent discovery) a love of women's fashion. His dad forbids his reading of Vogue magazine, but new friend Lisa pushes him to play dress-up, and that is how Dennis ends up at school as "Denise," Lisa's French exchange student, in high heels, makeup, and a sequin dress. That is, until a passing soccer ball can't be resisted and his cover is

Lovely short novel about being different (or is it about being a gay kid?). Anyway, you will love it. I read it in English because the spanish edition had a confusing and (in my opinion) homophobic title: "El Mago del Balón" (something like "The Magician of the Ball") clearly selling this book to a male audience and avoiding any reference to the main fact of the story: cross-dressing. I wonder how many Spanish boys who love soccer are now reading "El Mago del Balón" and thinking that

it was such a FUNNY book! i loved the character denis! and i also loved raaj! and the descriptions of lisa was BRILLIANT i could see her in my head ! i love this book and i think- i know that David Williams is AWESOME! Cant wait to read his other books :D

Denniss life is rather lonely. His mother left two years ago when he was ten, and his father drives long distances as a truck driver. He and his brother dont get along very well. He enjoys soccer, and is the star of his schools team, and discovers from looking at a Vogue magazine that he also enjoys womens fashion. When a chance meeting with his crush (the older, popular, and aspiring fashion designer Lisa) results in a friendship, Lisa convinces him to try on some of her designs. As a fun

I read this with my class of 8 -9 year olds and they absolutely loved it. There were a few bits that I thought were a bit rude for them so had to hastily edit on the hop. David Williams is like the new (ish) Roahl Dahl - he just completely gets what children will find funny.
