BLISTER
By Susan Shreve

Alyssa Reed's life is a mess. Her parents can't stop fighting. Her mother won't stop crying. Alyssa's father has decided to move the family to a new town, and to move himself to a separate apartment. Nobody gave Alyssa a choice.

So Alyssa decides to take control. She renames herself Blister and starts fighting back in her own way. Blister will take on her new school with a new identity, a new wardrobe (stolen from her father's girlfriend), and a raw, new attitude that nobody can ignore. Not even the cheerleaders.

Look out world — here comes Blister!

Excerpt:
The morning the Reeds’ baby dies was June 5: a day shimmering with light, the smell of lilacs hanging sweetly in the willow tree behind the house where Alyssa was hiding. From the tree, Alyssa could see the house where she lived, a yellow clapboard house with dark-green shutters, purple clematis climbing the front to the second-story window.
