Narrative Supposing Books Audacious (Ella #1)
Sixteen year old Raphaelle is that girl who says the wrong thing, who crosses the wrong person, who has the wrong hair, the wrong body, the wrong attitude, the totally wrong clothes. 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 leave behind the misfit rebel, the outcast, the vengeful trouble-maker she was. Reborn as “Ella,” she plans fit in at her new school, while her perfect younger sister goes to the Catholic girls’ school and her emotionally fragile mother looks for a job.But Ella might just be a different kind of misfit. She’s drawn to a brooding boy in her art class, Samir, and expresses her confused feelings in an explicit artwork. When a classmate texts a photo of Ella’s art to a younger friend, the horrendous fallout spreads though Ella’s life like an uncontrollable disease. Ella is expelled from school and faces pornography charges, her mother is hospitalized, her sister fails all her classes, and her distant father finally notices something is wrong.

4.5 stars I'm so glad to have finally gotten the chance to read this as I adored the second book in this series. Yes, I read the second book first and it was great by itself, but reading this definitely helped clear up a few things I didn't understand.I love what this book is. The story of a teenage girl from a Catholic family trying to figure herself and the world out. It deals with her burgeoning thoughts on sex and sexuality and how it conflicts with the more traditional views of herDate Read: February 2015 This is my 1st time reading it. Rating: 4 stars. Review:Read this in one sitting. The writing was really beautiful. Not much of a plot but still very interesting and enjoyable to read. It dealt with some complex & controversial topics (law, religion, tragedy, eating disorders, mental illness) that I thought were done very well.I found all the characters developed and somewhat likeable (which is really hard to do with verse-writing). I know the blurb makes the main
Even though I have roughly close to a gazillion books on my to-read list, I can't help but browse the shelves at the library. That's how I came across Audacious. I was drawn to the cover and when I discovered it was written in free verse, I absolutely had to grab it. I started it that night and read it straight through. Raphaelle has ISSUES and I don't mean just one or two quirks, I mean ISSUES. Obviously the author wanted people to think but there were too many ISSUES for me to wrap my mind
Some very beautiful writing for some very ugly topics. The last page nearly made my head explode though, not cool. Definitely will be reading the next one.
Pushing the boundaries of YA contemporary, Audacious by Gabrielle Prendergast deals with mature themes and treats its readers like young adults, instead of old children. This novel was so rich in thematic material that I dont know where to begin: a forbidden love story, a court case, an eating disorder and just plain coming of age. I think, that in all its chaotic issues and hurdles, Audacious paints (or is that photographs?) an accurate picture of growing up and finding yourself, even in the
It was an interesting read. I share three experiences with the protagonist. One about Gabriel, one about Samir, and one similar to her mother. And I was audacious in my own way, but never in the way that got me in trouble. I was raved as a talented artist and teachers loved me. I went through bullying but I didn't strike back. So it was interesting to see how she reacted to the similar events in life with so much more anger and energy. Maybe it's cultural (us Japanese are taught to be polite and
A beautiful coming of age story for misfits, this verse novel presents challenging themes without being heavy-handed and leaves readers feeling like they have spent several months with the protagonist, the fabulous Ella! Perfect for those extremely bright, but "reluctant" and/or hard to please readers, this book may well serve as a "gateway" to all the other fantastic verse novels in the world of young adult literature. I will go out on a limb here and say that I think boys will enjoy this story
