Description

Life is already unfair for 15-year-old Mariana. Her father's missing and her activist mother is dead. Marooned with her
grandparents in the cyclone-wrecked South Island, life is dominated by Carapace, a corrupt corporation. When Mariana
wears a red dress to her new school, she breaks an obscure rule and puts her family at risk.
Mariana yearns to stand up for her friend Filiki, who's trapped in Carapace’s school-to-prison pipeline. Fear keeps her
silent. When Mariana finally speaks up, it’s to disastrous effect and puts everyone she loves in danger.
As she confronts her fears, Mariana must make her voice heard—because this time it might change everything.
