JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE

A commercial coming-of-age story for tweens exploring identity, family and self-acceptance, from award-winning author Sarah Hagger-Holt.

Thirteen-year-old Aidan cant breathe in his crowded family home. Running is his only respite from four loud sisters and involved, touchy-feely parents. Then his mum makes an announcement: shes having another baby. Only, this time its not for her; she will be a surrogate for gay couple Justin and Atif.

Aidan is incensed. As if his family wasnt embarrassing - or big - enough already. But hes also scared. Aidan thinks he might be gay, and hes really struggling to accept this possibility. What if being around Justin and Atif means that he has to come out before hes ready?

If only he were just like everyone else.
