Description

After killing her attacker, Seelie must prove in court and in the hallways of her high school that she acted in self-defense. Seventeen-year-old Seelie Stanton never wanted to kill someone. She never wanted to be invisible in her own family, she never wanted to crush on her best friend Alyssa, and she definitely never wanted to know how effectively a mallet could destroy someone's head. But the universe doesn't care what she wants. Shane Mayfield doesn't care what Seelie wants either. When the former high school basketball star attacks her, she has no choice but to defend herself. She saved her own life, but she can't bring herself to talk about what happened that night. Not all of it. Not even when she's arrested for murder. AGES: 14 to 18 AUTHOR: Mischa Thrace has worked as a teacher, a horse trainer, a baker, and a librarian and has amassed enough random skills to survive most apocalypses. She lives in western Massachusetts with her husband, a one-eyed dog, and a cranky cat who rarely leaves the basement. She loves tea, geekery, and not getting ax-murdered on long walks in the woods.

Reviews

"This powerful debut novel portrays a resilient heroine with an exceptional will to survive, and her intensely realistic, captivating journey towards healing." Booklist
"The multiplicity of revelations makes this play out as an episode of Law & Order: SVU." The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
