Samantha (sam_branca) | 3 comments I’m looking for a book I wasn’t allowed to read as a child but desperately looking for now. In the 90’s flyers for a scif if/ fantasy book clubs would be sent to my house where you could get so many books for a penny a piece or free then you would get sent one a month when you signed up. This book was in it every month.
What I know about the book was from the blurb on the back. It was about people from a certain plant and every year for the first 13 years. (I think, maybe a bit older) The main character was a musician who traveled to different planets which confused people when they would show up as a different gender each year. I believed there was a love story attached to it because it was coming up on the time for the kid to pick there gender but there was a love interest. Yes, this could potentially wreak of homophobia (it was the 90’s) but it also dealt with gender queer population so I have hope.

Google Books preview of Commitment Hour by James Alan Gardner - Aerulan's suggestion:

https://books.google.com/books?id=Jd4... There are different cover images.

Quote from the book:
- On Commitment Day when I was thirteen, I went from a prepubescent boy to a fully-blossomed girl, almost a head taller, rounded above and below, and just starting my first period.

Should we mark your request as Solved?
