FreakBoy by Kristin Elizabeth Clark
From the outside, Brendan Chase seems to have it pretty easy. He’s a star wrestler, a video game aficionado, and a loving boyfriend to his seemingly perfect match, Vanessa. But on the inside, Brendan struggles to understand why his body feels so wrong—why he sometimes fantasizes having long hair, soft skin, and gentle curves. Is there even a name for guys like him? Guys who sometimes want to be girls? Or is Brendan just a freak?

Here is my review: http://nijiclovers.blogspot.com/2013/10/book-review-freakboy-by-kristin.html
This looks great, Lee!
Do you know of any more books with non-binary gender protagonists. My non-binary teen is desperate for something to read?
You can check out:
Love Spell http://www.leewind.org/2015/07/love-spell-gender-fluid-teen-sets-out.html
and this picture book I loved, Red
http://www.leewind.org/search/label/Gender%20Non-Conforming
and even Shadowplay
http://www.leewind.org/2014/09/shadowplay-lgbtq-teen-fantasy-with.html
It's probably also worthwhile to skim the gender non-conforming titles here:

Good luck, and good reading for you and your teen!
