About this item
Still haunted by nightmares of her mother's death, fifteen-year-old Sienna Jones reluctantly travels to Indonesia with her father's relief team to help tsunami orphans with their post traumatic stress disorder--something Sienna knows a lot about. Since her mother's plane went missing over the Indian Ocean three years before, Sienna doesn't do anything if it involves the ocean or planes, so this trip is a big step forward. But the last thing she expects is to fall for Deni, a brooding Indonesian boy who lives at the orphanage, and just so happens to be HOT. When Deni hears a rumor that his father may be alive, Sienna doesn't think twice about running away with him to the epicenter of the disaster. Unfortunately, what they find there could break both their hearts.
About the Author
Heidi R. Kling writes books about normal girls in fantastic situations. Her latest, the bestselling NOT OKAY, CUPID, is a seaside set romantic romp about revenge and finding love where you least expect it.
PAINT MY BODY RED, a teen drama set in both the (in) famous Silicon Valley and on a ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming launched to rave reviews. It's for fans of 13 REASONS WHY and SPEAK and is an ultimately hopeful tear-jerker about what matters the most.
Up next is Book #2 in the High School Heartbreaker series, MASQUERADE GIRL, the story of an awkward daughter of beautiful movie stars who lies about her true identity to get a seasonal job at a costume shop. It launches October, 2016. (Look for a cameo from Mr. Felix James!)
Her debut novel SEA (Penguin/Putnam) was a finalist for Northern California Book of the Year," an IndieNext Summer Pick, "Mover and Shaker," Scholastic Reading Pick, and Gateway Reader's Award Finalist among other generous accolades. SEA, which launched June, 2010, is a bittersweet love story set in the aftermath of the devastating 2004 Indonesian tsunami, and is set to relaunch with Entangled Teen in 2017 along with its sequel, OF EARTH AND SKY.
After earning her MFA in Writing for Children from the New School in New York, Heidi returned to Northern California where she lives with her family just over the coastal mountains from the sea.
