Description
CAUTION! Violet lives within the pages of this book. And her purple spreads to everything she touches…
Violet lives behind garden walls. Is she magical? Is she the devil’s child—or simply cursed? When the lonely thirteen-year-old embarks on a dangerous journey to find the one boy that dared to befriend her, she travels at night…in the dark…to keep people from seeing her purple skin. But no one is more surprised than Violet when she unlocks her mysterious gift.
Although this story was written as a fun read to capture the imagination of children, discrimination is at the core of the novel—but so are possibilities, and they appear everywhere.
Advance Praise
I purchased this book for my daughter after glancing through it. I started reading and couldn't put it down--as an adult. This book is the type of book I encourage my daughter to read. It's engaging, meaningful, and portrays a strong, female character that any girl can relate to. This book does not disappoint. My daughter was equally delighted.
5 stars!
