Reach for this book if your teenager is struggling with intense social isolation, the pain of being a social outcast, or the aftermath of a mental health crisis. Leila Sales offers a raw but ultimately empowering look at Vicky Austin, a girl who has tried everything to fit in and failed, only to discover her true voice through the underground world of DJing. It is a story about the lifesaving power of finding a passion and a community that accepts you for exactly who you are. While the book begins with Vicky at her lowest point, it transitions into a vibrant exploration of creativity and self-actualization. Parents should be aware that the story deals honestly with bullying and self-harm, but it uses these themes to build toward a message of resilience. It is an excellent choice for helping teens navigate the high-stakes emotional landscape of high school while emphasizing that life exists, and thrives, far beyond the school hallways.
