bring hope and comfort to so many.' – Alice Oseman,

Lewis has a few things to say to his younger teen self.

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.
