Teen Ramie just wants a better life than the impossible one she was born into, where she feels like she is on her own to figure out too many hard things. But Ramie refuses to accept the ordinary world as the whole story. She learns to access the slipstream of alternate selves, and she tries on versions of her life, hungry for the right fit. Sometimes she slips, nameless, into Renaissance Italy, in search of Leonardo da Vinci, or she lounges on a South Pacific beach as the divine Miss Mannikin, where anything she imagines comes to her--and she chooses the newest, the hottest, the best.
When the champion of the X Games chooses her back, Ramie doesn't notice the cage of choice and consequence she has built for herself.
And the one person who could be her ally is the former friend she has betrayed.
That's when Ramie learns she still has one true thing: the power of her own voice.
What Ramie doesn't know is that she is on the oldest journey on earth. What she doesn't guess is that there are allies waiting for her to notice them. What she discovers is that finding her own best life means opening an unexpected, terrifying Door that only she can open.
The Thin Door is a slipstream YA novel of myth, dystopia, and raw contemporary realism. It's also a book-as-toy, with interactive elements that invite readers to step inside Ramie's world to write or draw a story of their own.
The Thin Door is a gift for teens who feel unseen,
for parents who have lost the map to adolescence,
and for counselors & therapists in search of conversation-starters.
For the screen oriented or reluctant reader, playful graphic elements and visual cues help to tell the story.
For myth lovers, Little Red Riding Hood enters the matrix.
For the disenfranchised, Ramie's search of a better version of her life leads to an unexpected encounter with herself.
