Max Walker è Golden Boy. Bello, intelligente, campione nello sport, amico perfetto, figlio perfetto, il rubacuori della scuola. È perfino affettuoso e adorabile con suo fratello. Karen, la madre di Max, è un avvocato di grido, determinata a mantenere la facciata di naturale eccellenza che ha costruito in anni e anni. Ma ora che i suoi figli stanno diventando grandi e che lei sta perdendo il controllo su di loro, inizia a temere che quella facciata possa sgretolarsi. Ad aumentare la tensione, suo marito Steve ha deciso di candidarsi alle elezioni e i riflettori di tutti i media nazionali sono puntati sulla loro casa. I Walker hanno un segreto da nascondere. Max è speciale. Max è differente. Max è "intersex". E quando un enigmatico amico d'infanzia ricompare per metterlo di fronte alla sua difficile identità, Max è costretto a guardare in faccia il suo ben protetto segreto. Perché i genitori non ne parlano? Cosa gli stanno in realtà nascondendo? Più si sforza di capire, e più Max si sente perso in un oceano di nuove domande, soprattutto ora che per la prima volta si è innamorato. Riusciranno i genitori, gli amici, la bella fidanzata ad accettarlo se lui non sarà più Golden Boy? Continueranno ad amarlo anche quando conosceranno la verità? Una è la domanda decisiva, la questione alla quale deve assolutamente trovare una risposta: chi è in realtà Max Walker? Abigail Tarttelin è nata a Grimsby nel 1987.

Before opioids destroyed Grant Matheson's career, he was a pillar of his community. Respected physician, loving husband, devoted father, and trusted friend. Grant was a straight-laced kid who grew up to be a clean-living adult. No drinking, no smoking, and certainly no drugs. It took everyone by surprise, most of all himself, when he became addicted to narcotics in his 30s. His story hit local press when he was found guilty of professional misconduct related to his addiction, including over-prescribing painkillers to patients so he could buy them back--an infraction that caused his physician license to be suspended. Matheson's memoir is a gritty account of his narcotic addiction and all that it cost him: various relationships, his career, and almost his life. The Golden Boy takes the reader from the very first day of Matheson's drug addiction to that moment when he decided to rebuild his life through rehab and recovery.

“Harrowing but ultimately redemptive…the murder of Tanzania's albinos is a real and horrific phenomenon of the past 15 years, a cold fact that makes the fictional events in ‘Golden Boy’ more moving and consequential than those in any dystopian young-adult chase-drama.” —The Wall Street Journal *"A riveting snapshot of one Tanzanian boy who makes himself matter." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review *“Readers will be haunted by Habo’s voice as he seeks a place of dignity and respect in society. An important and affecting story.” —School Library Journal, starred review Thirteen-year-old Habo has always been different—light eyes, yellow hair and white skin. Not the good brown skin his family has and not the white skin of tourists. Habo is strange and alone. His father, unable to accept Habo, abandons the family; his mother can scarcely look at him. His brothers are cruel and the other children never invite him to play. Only his sister Asu loves him well. But even Asu can't take the sting away when the family is forced from their small Tanzanian village, and Habo knows he is to blame. Seeking refuge in Mwanza, Habo and his family journey across the Serengeti. His aunt is glad to open her home until she sees Habo for the first time, and then she is only afraid. Suddenly, Habo has a new word for himself: Albino. But they hunt Albinos in Mwanza because Albino body parts are thought to bring good luck. And soon Habo is being hunted by a fearsome man with a machete. To survive, Habo must not only run, but find a way to love and accept himself.
