About this listen

Andrea Beaty's first novel has been called "compelling fiction that will be a hit with young readers" ( Horn Book magazine).

Since her brother died, Lily has pretended to be brain damaged, and no one knows her secret. That is, until a troubled girl named Tinny refuses to leave her alone. But Tinny's meddling soon gets Lily into a jam that threatens their safety.

Most relevant

Plenty of hurt people involved in this story, but that's the driving pain and how one copes. Then things happen to shake everyone up. I enjoyed it.

Such pain.
