STAY GOLD

Narrators Theo Germaine and Phoebe Strole deliver a poignant coming-of-age romance. Pony, warmly voiced by Germaine, starts at a new high school where no one knows he’s transgender. Germaine’s enthusiastic narration adds authenticity and humor as Pony explores new friendships and develops a huge crush on cheerleader Georgia, voiced by Strole. Having sworn off dating after a rough breakup, the last thing Georgia expects is to start falling for a guy like Pony. Strole’s easygoing pace and light, youthful timbre complement Georgia’s introspectiveness as she balances her budding feelings for Pony and coming to terms with his trans identity. This emotionally charged audiobook pulls no punches while exploring trans issues. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2020]
