Rose Sees Red -- new book by Cecil Castellucci
Rose has given up. She's given up on friendship, on happiness, on life being anything other than black, black, black.
Yrena wants out. She's a dancer who doesn't want to dance, a prisoner in her own home, a resident of New York who never gets to see the city.
To Rose, Yrena has always been the Russian girl who lives next door, seen through the window but never spoken to. At least not until Yrena crashes into Rose's room-and Rose's life-and sets in motion a night in New York City that neither of them will ever forget.
From YA superstar Cecil Castellucci, this is the story of cold hearts and cold wars warmed by simple human connection and the liberty of being young and free in the early hours of a new day.
“Castellucci's insight into people and their behavior is wonderful and her novel is refreshing and encouraging.” - Bookreviewsandmore.ca
