Description

Everybody needs friends, especially a boy in a dress. Dennis's life is lonely—his mother left two years ago, his truck-driver father is withdrawn, and his brother bullies him. Yet he loves soccer and fashion. When his friend Lisa discovers his stash of Vogue magazines, she persuades him to dress as Denise for a day at school. But the secret is exposed, and Dennis faces consequences that threaten his place on the team. Can the team still win the Final Cup, and can Dennis win the love and respect of his friends and family, even in a dress?
