<p><strong>Sixteen-year-old Raphaelle says the wrong thing, antagonizes the wrong people and has the wrong attitude.</strong></p><p>She can't do anything right except draw, but she draws the wrong pictures. When her father moves the family to a small prairie city, Raphaelle wants to make a new start. Reborn as 'Ella,' she tries to fit in at her new school. She's drawn to Samir, a Muslim boy in her art class, and expresses her confused feelings in explicit art. When a classmate texts a photo of Ella's art to a younger friend, the fallout spreads throughout Ella's life, threatening to destroy her already-fragile family. Told entirely in verse, <em>Audacious</em> is a brave, funny and hard-hitting portrait of a girl who embodies the word <em>audacity</em>.</p>
