GOLD MEDAL WINNER OF THE 2016 MOONBEAM CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARDS.
FINALIST IN FOREWORD INDIE'S 2016 BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD.
Behind prison bars and the lens of reality TV, unfolds a story of betrayal, sacrifice, and ultimately redemption.
Nineteen-year-old Ivy Redd’s talent with a needle and thread has earned her a spot on a coveted reality TV art competition set in New York’s Metropolitan Museum. The prize: a significant amount of money and instant acceptance into the Masterpiecers, the school that ensures new artists fame and fortune. Her talent has also thrust her and her twin sister, Aster, into the spotlight.
Not that Aster needed help with becoming a media favorite. She managed that on her own by running over a wanted mobster. She told the police it was self-defense, because she couldn’t tell them the truth—the truth would make her sister look bad.
Locked in an Indiana jail to await her trial, Aster watches Ivy on the small TV hanging in the dayroom. It’s the highlight of her day, until she finds out what her sister truly thinks of her. Then, observing her sister becomes a punishment far crueler than imprisonment.
Perfect for fans of Jessica Knoll's Luckiest Girl Alive and E. Lockhart's We Were Liars.
