Publisher's summary

Soon to be a major motion picture with Bette Midler, Laverne Cox, and Abigail Breslin!

Meet Billy Bloom, new student at the ultra-white, ultra-rich, ultra-conservative Dwight D. Eisenhower Academy and drag queen extraordinaire. Actually, "drag queen" does not begin to describe Billy and his fabulousness. Any way you slice it, Billy is not a typical 17-year-old, and the Bible Belles, Aberzombies, and Football Heroes at the academy have never seen anyone quite like him before. But thanks to the help and support of one good friend, Billy's able to take a stand for outcasts and underdogs everywhere in his own outrageous, over-the-top, sad, funny, brilliant, and unique way.

Critic reviews

"Gutsy, funny, over-the-top Billy Bloom is a profile in courage." (The Washington Post)

The narration was excellent!

I loved the over the top voice acting that only a gay person can understand totally!

Love it

I am usually one of those people that like the book better than movie. In this case, I will say it is the opposite. The audible voices are really good. Sometimes I feel like he is TOO dramatic even for his character.
