"A powerful work." âKirkus ReviewsThis character-driven book expands child trafficking awareness while exploring one girlâs search for belonging, self-love, and acceptance.
Thirteen-year-old Julia would much rather work with horses at the rescue barn than worry about things like dating and makeup. But when her BFF meets a boy at camp, Juliaâs determined not to get left behind. After a makeover from her older sister, she posts a picture of herself online and gets a comment from Tylerâa seemingly nice kid who lives across town. As they DM more and more, Juliaâs sure that Tyler understands her in a way her family never has. Even better, their relationship earns her tons of attention at school.
Then Julia finds out Tyler's true plan, and her world is turned upside down. She fiercely guards her secret, but could her silence allow her friends to fall into the same trap?
