Disguising herself as a young boy, seventeen-year-old Theo bluffs her way into the inner circle of August Gains, the magnetic leader of the ruthless gang that has descended on her town. But the deeper Theo gets into the con, the more she starts to question her loyalties. Complicating her subterfuge is a mysterious outlaw whose small moments of kindness contradict the blood he has on his hands, making Theo wonder who, exactly, is conning who. To save her town, Theo must parse fa?ade from reality and choose between the barefaced malevolence she's infiltrated and an evil she didn't know lurked at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFor readers who enjoy \u003ci\u003eNo Country for Old Men\u003c\/i\u003e by Cormac McCarthy and \u003ci\u003eUnder a Painted Sky\u003c\/i\u003e by Stacey Lee.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jackie Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0744306957\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780744306958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Camcat Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Franklin Award - Gold Medal Winner","brand":"Jackie Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45897780035839,"sku":"9780744306958","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_550b00ab-ef19-4add-94aa-7a94bd490fd1.jpg?v=1721374732","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bladestay-jackie-johnson-9780744306958","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
