Not Anything
Carmen Rodrigues
A powerful debut novel about a girl living a
not-so-glamorous life in a city that's all about
glamour.
It always sounds way more glamorous than it is when Susie
Shannon tells people that she's from Miami. But Miami's not
all sunshine and hotties. It's endless zip codes and mega
high schools where, if someone lost anythingincluding
themselvesthey just might not find it again...
Not that Susie ever lost herself. No way. Ever since her mom
died, she made sure to keep her world safe. With no
boyfriend, an increasingly MIA best friend, and a dad who
couldn't pick her out of lineup to save his life, she
somehow managed to stay okay.
Then she met Danny Diaz. Danny's is the life that she's
destined to change. At least that's what Mr. Murphy said
when he begged Susie to tutor Danny. She doubts that she
could change anyone's life, but what if Mr. Murphy's right?
Or better yet, what if Danny is destined to change hers?
