Description

"There may not be another book published ... that is more perfect for artistic [readers] who love stability yet crave adventure." —Teen Vogue

Debut author Kayla Cagan breathes new life into fiction in this dynamic, authentic book. Warhol-obsessed Piper will have readers asking big questions along with her. What is love? What is friendship? What is family? What should I wear?

Piper Perish inhales air and exhales art. The sooner she and her best friends can get out of Houston and get to New York City, the better. Art school has been Piper's dream forever, and now that senior year is halfway over, she's never felt more ready. But in the final months before graduation, things are weird with her friends and stressful with three different guys, and Piper's sister's tyranny thwarts every attempt at happiness for the Perish family. Piper's art just might be enough to get her out. But is she brave enough to seize that power when it means giving up so much?

Advance Praise

“A love-letter to the artistic life, filled with glamour, passion, hunger and heartbreak.” — Hope Larson, New York Times–bestselling author, graphic novelist, and two-time Eisner Award Winner

“At once a glittering high school dream and the gritty reality of small-town life. It’s the Cinderella story for any artsy kid stuck in a dead-end town dreaming of life in the city, a life in which art surrounds you.”—Marika McCoola, New York Times bestselling author of Baba Yaga’s Assistant, Finalist for the Eisner Award for Best Publication for Kids

“Piper Perish is the heroine I didn't even know I was waiting for, so specific and unique, and yet universally relatable to anyone who's ever longed for more. This book is for anyone who's felt inspired, who's felt rejected, who's felt trapped where they are—yes, it’s possible this book might just be for everyone.” —Amy Spalding, author of The New Guy (And Other Senior Year Distractions), The Reese Malcolm List, and Kissing Ted Callahan (And Other Guys)

“Get ready for all the feels! Urgent, funny, and achingly real, Piper Perish will pull you into her artsy, messy, and love-rich world on the first page and hold you tight until the very end.
