Description

"Not My Fault" is popping up everywhere: at home, in the park, even at school. At first, it's a secret way for Hy to deal with being bullied, but the protest art becomes addictive and morphs into a massive, creative project in defense of other social injustices.
Hy's own social circle is more like a square, with Hy standing alone in the middle. Mr. Sanchez, Mom, Mr. Fadikar, and Gram take the corners. A chance encounter in the park with an exotic eleventh-grader named Belinda is about to change the shape of everything. Buzzing with newfound confidence at school, Hy is again targeted by Jordan with an outcome nobody is going to believe. When Belinda gets pregnant, Hy has to navigate more uncharted territory and add to some already messy feelings of lust, loss, and friendship.
This former tenth-grade loser is about to soar into the art world with spray cans blazing right Maybe, but getting kicked out of school wasn't part of the plan. Fortunately, Hy gets some help from an unlikely source: a dad who, until now, has never been in the picture thanks to Mom's big secret
"Not My Fault" is for anyone who's ever felt misunderstood, abnormal, lonely, left of center, ugly, fat, skinny, weird, too smart, too dumb, socially awkward, too feminine, too masculine, too ambiguous, too much or not enough. Readers will relate to, root for, cry with, and cheer for Hy

Author Bio

As a multi-platinum, award-winning songwriter, the most rewarding part of Sabelle's career has been commiserating with young hearts to shape raw, relatable emotions into lyrics that can be sung at the top of your lungs. Sabelle's songs appear on a multitude of albums, compilations, and Film & TV soundtracks; and she's won ASCAP/BMI, Dove, Songwriter Hall of Fame, and Parents' Choice awards. Early days as a session vocalist and published songwriter led to recording contracts with both Tommy Boy and Sony Records. Raised by visual artists, it was understood that art in any form makes life worth living. Sabelle now lives in her own head alongside her husband, two tolerant teenagers, and two really annoying Labradors. She doesn't want any part of the 'mom jeans' thing.
