A disturbing and powerful psychological thriller about a girl who must piece together the mystery of her kidnapping and abuse, Pretty Girl-13 is a haunting yet ultimately uplifting story about the healing power of courage, hope, and love.
Angie Chapman was thirteen years old when she ventured into the woods on a Girl Scout camping trip. Now she's returned home...only to find that it's three years later and she's sixteen--or at least that's what everyone tells her. What happened to the last three years of her life?
With a tremendous amount of courage, Angie embarks on a journey to discover the fragments of her lost time. She eventually discovers a terrifying secret and must decide: What do you do when you remember things you wish you could forget?
Perfect for fans of books like Elizabeth Scott's Living Dead Girl and Kathleen Glasgow's Girl in Pieces.
- Multiple Personalities: To find the truth, Angie must listen to the other girls living in her head. They call themselves Girl Scout, Little Wife, and more--and they hold the key to her missing years.
- Unreliable Narrator: Angie wants to piece together her past, but her memory is a minefield of missing time and conflicting stories from alters who have their own secrets. Can she even trust herself?
- Kidnapping Mystery: Trapped for three years in a remote cabin, parts of Angie's mind did whatever it took to survive. Now that she's home, the real battle for her life begins.
- Dark Contemporary YA: A gripping and emotionally raw novel that unflinchingly explores the aftermath of trauma, perfect for readers who love dark, character-driven thrillers.
