HS - OPTIONAL
Lucy is infatuated with the mysterious graffiti artist, Shadow. On the last night of 12th form (this takes place in Australia), she heads off on an adventure with a few friends and an acquaintance, Ed, who promises to help her find the illusive artist. Told in alternating points-of-view between Ed, Lucy, and Poet, this is a story about finding self, hope, and love.
I really enjoyed this story. The characters all take a journey and I loved watching how they grew. Art and poetry are a huge part of the story and there was such depth and passion, it was a joy to read about. However, it doesn't check out at my library and the content is such that I would suggest this as an optional purchase.
