- Baker & Taylor
A collection of interrelated stories follow nine teens and one teacher through a seemingly ordinary day, with uncertainties, traumas, heartbreak, and revenge. - Baker & Taylor
A collection of interrelated stories follows the experiences of a bullied boy with an embarrassingly broken finger, a dreamer forced to confront the real world, a basketball player's cheerleader girlfriend, a plus-sized misfit and a gang who scams drivers for beer money. - Random House, Inc.
Does anyone ever see us for who we really are? Jo Knowlesâs revelatory novel of interlocking stories peers behind the scrim as it follows nine teens and one teacher through a seemingly ordinary day.
Thanks to a bully in gym class, unpopular Nate suffers a broken fingerâthe middle one, splinted to flip off the world. It wonât be the last time a middle finger is raised on this day. Dreamer Claire envisions herself sitting in an artsy café, filling a journal, but fate has other plans. One cheerleader dates a closeted basketball star; another questions just how, as a âbig girl,â she fits in. A group of boys scam drivers for beer money without remorseâor so it seems. Over the course of a single day, these voices and others speak loud and clear about the complex dance that is life in a small town. They resonate in a gritty and unflinching portrayal of a day like any other, with ordinary traumas, heartbreak, and revenge. But on any given day, the line where presentation and perception meet is a tenuous one, so hard to discern. Unless, of course, one looks a little closerâand reads between the lines.
