POINTE

Brandy Colbert

Speak meets Black Swan in this stunningly dramatic debut novel

Theo is better now. She's eating again, dating guys who are almost appropriate, and well on her way to becoming an elite ballet dancer. But when her oldest friend, Donovan, returns home after spending four long years with his kidnapper, Theo starts reliving memories about his abduction - and his abductor. Donovan isn't talking about what happened, and even though Theo knows she didn't do anything wrong, telling the truth would put everything she's been living for at risk. But keeping quiet might be worse. Brandy Colbert was born and raised in Springfield, Missouri, and has worked as an editor for several national magazines. She lives and writes in Los Angeles. Pointe is her first novel.

Comments

A must-read for all young adult fans.

A victory for young people, especially young women, everywhere.

...drama, plus pointe shoes? Yes, please: this is one book that's bound to make a splash.

A brave and resonant debut that is as captivating as it is heartbreaking.

Colbert builds characters whose flaws, struggles, and bad decisions make them real and indelibly memorable... and it's this complexity and empathy that set this gripping story apart.

Brandy Colbert's debut is beautiful, sharp and memorable.
