'Read this.' John GreenGeorge ist zehn Jahre alt, geht in die vierte Klasse, liebt die Farbe Rosa und liest heimlich Mädchenzeitschriften, die sie vor ihrer Mutter und ihrem großen Bruder versteckt. Denn alle um sie herum denken, dass George ein Junge ist, weil sie einen Jungskörper, eine Jungsfrisur und einen Jungsnamen hat. Fast verzweifelt sie daran! Denn sie ist ein Mädchen! Und sie möchte Melissa heißen! Bisher hat sie sich noch nicht getraut, mit jemandem darüber zu sprechen. Noch nicht einmal ihre beste Freundin Kelly weiß davon. Aber dann wird in der Schule ein Theaterstück aufgeführt. Und Melissa will die weibliche Hauptrolle spielen, um allen zu zeigen, wer sie ist.
