About this item
In the tradition of Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak, Mary Cecilia Jackson's devastating but hopeful YA debut is about a ballerina who finds the courage to confront the abuse that haunts her past and threatens her future. There are two kinds of people on the planet. Hunters and prey I thought I would be safe after my mother died. I thought I could stop searching for new places to hide. But you can't escape what you are, what you've always been. My name is Savannah Darcy Rose. And I am still prey. Though Savannah Rose -- "Sparrow" to her friends and family -- is a gifted ballerina, her real talent is keeping secrets. Schooled in silence by her long-dead mother, Sparrow has always believed that her lifelong creed -- "I'm not the kind of girl who tells" -- will make her just like everyone else: Normal.
About the Author
I've wanted to be a writer since I was six years old. After many years and multiple rejections, my debut novel, SPARROW, is due out from Tor Teen in March 2020. It's never too late to do what makes your heart sing. Never give up on your dreams!
