New York Times bestselling author Kelly Yang’s acclaimed novel about two girls navigating power and corruption in an elite institution—a modern immigrant story that combines the drama of Gossip Girl with the hard truths of Speak.
They’re called parachutes: wealthy teenagers dropped off to live and study in the United States while their parents remain in Asia. That’s how Claire, from Shanghai, comes to live with Dani, who couldn't be less thrilled that mom rented out their spare room.
As Claire explores her newfound freedom and Dani navigates a complicated relationship with her teacher, both girls wrestle with life-changing choices. The girls might be opposites, in terms of privilege, but Claire and Dani will need each other to survive the modern American dream.
- This #MeToo story for teens explores what it means to speak your truth, even when the world wants you to stay silent.
- Both girls find relationships that offer opportunity and status—but in this gripping YA social thriller, they're about to find out the lengths the powerful will go to protect that prestige.
- Inspired by the author's real life experience navigating trauma at Harvard Law School, this brutally honest, cautionary tale is a must read for today's teens.
