PRAISE FOR DEAD THINGS
“A moving wild ride that will keep you guessing, and break your heart all at once.”
— Vanessa L. Torres
Pura Belpré Award–winning author of On the Wings of la Noche
ABOUT THE BOOK
When fifteen-year-old Debbie Boyle stumbles across the rotting body of the most popular girl in school, she becomes the center of a story no one wants her to tell.
Everyone already knows what happened—or at least, they think they do. In a town built on rumors, secrets spread faster than truth, and the woods behind Debbie’s trailer park hold more than one kind of dead thing.
As accusations spiral and suspicion turns toward the other kids in the trailer park, Debbie is forced to decide what she’s willing to risk: her reputation, her friendships, or the truth.
