A debut novel-in-verse about understanding and celebrating
your own difference.
Selah knows her rules for being normal.
This means keeping her feelings locked tightly inside, despite
the way they build up inside her as each school day goes on, so
that she has to run to the bathroom and hide in the stall until she
can calm down. Selah feels like a dragon stuck in a world of humans,
but she knows how to hide it.
Until the day she explodes and hits a fellow student.
As her comfortable, familiar world crumbles around her, Selah
starts to figure out more about who she is. She comes to understand
that different doesn't mean damaged. Can she get her school to
understand that, too, before it's too late?
A moving and unputdownable story for fans of Can You See
Me and A Kind of Spark about a neurodivergent girl
who comes to understand and celebrate her difference.
An exciting new voice in children's literature
"Selah is funny, insightful, and poetic in her quest to balance
fitting in and staying true to herself." - Laura Shovan, co-author
of Sydney Taylor Notable novel A Place at the Table
