language
(Tui Cottage Books Oct. 31, 2016)
Lily’s twin brother Sam is autistic and reacts badly when his favorite teacher leaves. Tired of the dramas at home, feeling marginalized by her parents and invisible, Lily seeks excitement in the world of shop-lifting. The hoard grows daily in her wardrobe until one day the unthinkable happens.
Will Lily own up to her crimes? Can she ever regain her parent’s trust? And then there’s her friendship with Sam, lost in the process of growing up.
