15-year-old Riley feels unloved and ignored by his parents, who can't stop fawning over his sister, Marti, and her ballet dancing. He mocks her and ridicules her mercilessly, but Marti just lovingly wishes he could experience the joy of a dancer's life.
Soon, this rough and tumble teen-age boy finds his life and body changing as he unwillingly trades rock and roll rebellion for tutus and tights.
This short story includes a gender swap, cross-dressing and a boy ballerina. It should only be read by people who are down with non-binary gender identities.
Riley has a sister who loves being a ballerina and says she see's one in him. He is a sad loner that is separated from his family. Marti feels dance could help him so wishes for him to experience being a ballerina. He slowly turns into her little sister who loves being a ballerina. When she gives her a chance to return to being a boy, Riley refuses. A cute and fun story to read. I wish the author would write more like this.
