Relatable heartbreaking and real this is a story of resilience--the perfect novel for
readers of powerful contemporary fiction like Girl in Pieces and Every Last Word. Before I was
a million things. Now I'm only one. The Burned Girl. Ava Lee has lost everything there is to
lose: Her parents. Her best friend. Her home. Even her face. She doesn't need a mirror to know
what she looks like--she can see her reflection in the eyes of everyone around her. A year
after the fire that destroyed her world her aunt and uncle have decided she should go back to
high school. Be normal again. Whatever that is. Ava knows better. There is no normal for
someone like her. And forget making friends--no one wants to be seen with the Burned Girl now
or ever. But when Ava meets a fellow survivor named Piper she begins to feel like maybe she
doesn't have to face the nightmare alone. Sarcastic and blunt Piper isn't afraid to push Ava
out of her comfort zone. Piper introduces Ava to Asad a boy who loves theater just as much as
she does and slowly Ava tries to create a life again. Yet Piper is fighting her own battle
and soon Ava must decide if she's going to fade back into her scars . . . or let the people by
her side help her fly.
