VITAMINS AND DEATH by Medeia Sharif
YA Contemporary, Prizm Books
Release Date December 10, 2014
Deidra Battle wants nothing more
than to be invisible. After her mother, a public school teacher, engages in an
embarrassing teacher-student affair at Lincoln High, they relocate to a
different neighborhood and school. Being her mother’s briefcase, Deidra joins
her mother at her new workplace, Hodge High.
Since her mother has reverted to
her maiden name and changed her appearance, Deidra thinks no one will figure
out they’re the Battles from recent news and that they’re safe. Neither of them
is. Hodge brings a fresh set of bullies who discover details about the scandal
that changed her life.
Feeling trapped at home with an
emotionally abusive, pill-addicted mother and at school with hostile classmates
who attempt to assault and blackmail her, Deidra yearns for freedom, even if
she has to act out of character and hurt others in the process. Freedom comes
at a price.
