THE major problem acclaimed Blackburn South author Hazel Edwards had writing a transgender novel was the use of the correct pronoun.

Her latest youth adult novel f2m: The Boy Within is about a character's struggle to make the transition from an 18-year-old girl to a man.

Edwards, author of the internationally acclaimed children's book There is a Hippopotamus on our Roof Eating Cake, co-wrote the novel with family friend Ryan Kennedy, who made the transition from female to male when he was 27.
