Editorial Review: “Dead girl walking,†the boys say in the halls.
“Tell us your secret,†the girls whisper, one toilet to another.
I am that girl.
I am the space between my thighs, daylight shining through.
I am the bones they want, wired on a porcelain frame.
Lia and Cassie are best friends, wintergirls frozen in matchstick bodies, competitors in a deadly contest to see who can be the skinniest. But what comes after size zero and size double-zero? When Cassie succumbs to the demons within, Lia feels she is being haunted by her friend’s restless spirit.
In her most
emotionally wrenching, lyrically
written book since the
multiple-award-winning Speak,
Laurie Halse Anderson explores
Lia’s descent
into the powerful vortex of
anorexia, and her painful path
toward recovery.
