Welcome to St Hell: My trans teen misadventure

Shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2023 Older Readers Shortlist

Due to the nature of some of the themes featured in the book, Welcome to St Hell is only suitable for readers aged 14 years and over.

Lewis has a few things to say to his younger teen self. He knows she hates her body. He knows she's confused about who to snog. He knows she's really a he and will ultimately realize this... But she's going to go through a whole lot of mess (some of it funny, some of it not funny at all) to get to that point. Lewis is trying to tell her this... but she's refusing to listen.

In Welcome to St Hell, author-illustrator Lewis Hancox takes readers on the hilarious, heartbreaking and healing path he took to make it past trauma, confusion, hurt and dubious fashion choices in order to become the man he was meant to be.
