Description
Changers Book Two: Oryon finds our hero Ethan/Drew on the eve of her second metamorphosis - into Oryon, a skinny African American skater boy with more swagger than he knows what to do with.
Enter a mess of trouble from the Changers Council, the closed-minded Abiders, the Radical Changers, and his best friend Audrey - at least she was his best friend when Oryon was Drew - and now, it's complicated.
But that's life for Changers, an ancient race of humans who must live out each year of high school as a completely different person. Before next summer, Oryon will learn what it means to be truly loved, scared spitless, and at the centre of a burgeoning national culture war. Most of all, he will learn again how much the eyes of the world try to shape you into what they see - and how only when you resist do you clearly begin to see yourself.

Reviews / Votes
Fantastic and poignant - John Green on Changers Book 1This is an excellent sequel....This installment raises the stakes, making the story not just about physical and emotional transformation, but about survival. - School Library Journal
Oryon's winning and witty narrative voice is consistently engaging... Oryon is African-American, and much of what he observes is about race... Raises thought-provoking questions. - Kirkus Reviews
This series is addicting...as soon as I started reading I was immersed into the book, unable to put it down....The series is just getting better and better. - I'd So Rather Be Reading
Changers should appeal to a broad demographic. Teenagers, after all, are the world's leading experts on trying on, and then promptly discarding, new identities. - New York Times
