Perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Sarah Dessen, Janet McNally's imaginative story of sisterhood shows that the fiercest of loves are often the ones that exist outside of happily-ever-afters.
GIRLS IN TROUBLE. That's what Sylvie Blake's older sister Julia renamed their favorite fairy tale book, way back when they were just girls themselves. Now Julia has disappeared--and no one knows for sure if she wants to be away, or if she's the one in trouble.
Then a copy of their old storybook arrives with a mysterious list inside, and Sylvie begins to see signs of her sister, and their favorite fairy tales, everywhere she goes.
With the help of her best friend's enigmatic brother and his beat-up car, Sylvie sets out to follow the strange signs right to Julia and return to New York with her in tow. But trouble comes in lots of forms--and Sylvie soon learns that the damsel in distress is often the only one who can save herself.
But in a world blurring with fairy tales, where does the story end and real life begin?
- A Missing Sister Mystery: Sylvie's ballerina sister Julia is gone. To find her, Sylvie must decode the clues left behind in a cryptic list and a world that no longer makes sense.
- Modern Fairy Tale Retelling: When signs from their childhood storybook, GIRLS IN TROUBLE, start appearing in real life, Sylvie must question where fantasy ends and a dangerous reality begins.
- A Poignant YA Road Trip: With her best friend's enigmatic brother at the wheel, Sylvie embarks on a journey to follow the trail of breadcrumbs Julia left behind.
- Complex Sisterhood: A lyrical and heartfelt exploration of the fierce, complicated love between sisters, and the realization that some people can only save themselves.
