Description

Isla, a Black, transgender girl, is just an ordinary student when government forces arrest her and her teacher for alleged revolutionary activity. This action turns Isla first into a prisoner, then into an escaped prisoner, and ultimately into an activist working for social justice.

Zelniker takes readers on an exhilarating ride marked by danger, close calls, and betrayals, with love and friendship as the reward.

“A thriller with belief in revolution that our times need.” — Gina Apostol, PEN Open Book Award winner, author of Gun Dealers’ Daughter and The Revolution According to Raymundo Mata
