The Shadows We Are

Publisher Thierry Magnier
Category Children's Books
Age 12-15YA
Can you become a "real man" when you just feel so different?

At the age of 15, Camille has mastered the art of camouflage beneath the hoodie and black jeans he always wears. He began perfecting these survival techniques early on at school, when other children began making fun of him because he wasn't like the other boys.
But everything changes when he is cast as Titania in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream – costume included! From the moment he walks on stage dressed as a fairy, Camille is no longer invisible. Little by little, he explores his femininity and masculinity, grapples with the attraction he inspires in both Zoe and Timothée, and the disgust he provokes in others.
