Bull's Eye

by Sarah N. Harvey

Overview

After Emily's aunt dies, Emily learns that everything she has always believed is a lie, and her world crumbles. Forced to face the fact that her mother is not who she thought she was, Emily tries to find the truth about her past and make sense of her future. Turning to graffiti and vandalism as a way to deal with her anger, she comes to realize that there is more to a family than shared DNA.

Read an Excerpt

In the photograph, Aunt Donna is very, very pregnant. My mother is not. I look up at my mom and she is crying—silently, with her hand over her mouth. I just make it to the bathroom before I lose my breakfast, my lunch and my mind.

The Horn Book Guide

"This contemporary theme in less than 100 pages with eye catching cover art will appeal to teenage reluctant readers."

Puget Sound Council for Reviewing Children's Media
