From New York Times bestselling author and 15-time GRAMMY (R)
Award-winning artist Alicia Keys comes a new authentic and poignant
coming-of-age young adult graphic novel, about finding the strength
within when your whole world changes in an instant. Lolo Wright
always thought she was just a regular fourteen-year-old dealing
with regular family drama: her brother, James, is struggling with
his studies; her dad's business constantly teeters on the edge of
trouble; and her mother . . . she left long ago. But then Lolo's
world explodes when a cop pulls a gun on James in a dangerous case
of mistaken identities. Staring down the barrel, with no one else
to help, Lolo discovers powers she never knew she had. Using only
her mind, she literally throws the cop out of the way. Problem is
that secrets like Lolo's don't stay a secret for long. Skin, a
dangerous dealer with designs on taking over the neighborhood,
hears of Lolo's telekinetic abilities and decides that he needs her
in his crew. Skin might not have Lolo's powers, but he's got
nothing to lose and is willing to do whatever it takes to get what
he wants. And what he wants is Lolo. Lolo's not willing to let Skin
use her to hurt the people-and neighborhood-that she loves. But
it's going to take a whole different kind of bravery to stand-up
for what's right, especially after Lolo's mom returns suddenly and
turns Lolo's whole world upside-down. For too long, it's true,
Lolo's had her head in the clouds, but this time, it's on her . . .
and she's not backing down. Girl on Fire is a young adult graphic
novel about a girl who's a flame. It's the first-ever graphic novel
from beloved GRAMMY (R) Award-winning artist Alicia Keys,
co-written by Andrew Weiner and illustrated by Brittney Williams.
