Faking
Normal by Courtney C. Stevens
Expected
Publication: February 25, 2014Publisher: Harper Collins Children’s Books
Summary via Goodreads...
Alexi Littrell hasn't told anyone what happened to
her over the summer. Ashamed and embarrassed, she hides in her closet and
compulsively scratches the back of her neck, trying to make the outside hurt
more than the inside does.At school, nobody sees the scratches or her pain. The only person she connects with is the mysterious Captain Lyric, who writes song lyrics on her fourth-period desk for her to complete. With pencil marks and music, Alexi carves out a comfortable space for herself as she and the Captain finish each other's songs--words on a desk feel safer than words spoken aloud.
But when Bodee Lennox, the quiet and awkward boy
next door, comes to live with the Littrells, Alexi discovers an unlikely friend
who understands her better than anyone. He has secrets of his own and knows all
about suffering in silence. As they lean on each other for support, Alexi gives
him the strength to deal with his past, and Bodee helps her find the courage to
finally speak up.
With her powerful, moving debut novel, author
Courtney C. Stevens emerges as an extraordinary new talent to watch.
