Hear it
By Lauren Myracle
Publisher Abrams - (Amulet Books)
Shine
Preview: Hear it

When her best guy friend falls victim to a vicious hate crime, sixteenyearold Cat sets out to discover who in her small town did it. Richly atmospheric, this daring mystery mines the secrets of a tightly knit Southern community and examines the strength of will it takes to go against everyone you know in the name of justice. Against a backdrop of poverty, clannishness, drugs, and intolerance, Myracle has crafted a harrowing comingofage tale couched in a deeply intelligent mystery. Smart, fearless, and compassionate, this is an unforgettable work from a beloved author.
