Without warning, Nyle's modest world fills with protective masks, evacuations, contaminated food, disruptions, and mistrust. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNyle adjusts to the changes. As long as the fallout continues blowing to the East, Nyle, Gran, and the farm can go on. But into this uncertain haven stumble Ezra Trent and his mother, \"refugees\" from the heart of the accident, who take temporary shelter in the back bedroom of Nyle's house. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe back bedroom is the dying room: It took her mother when Nyle was six; it stole away her grandfather just two years ago. Now Ezra is back there and Nyle doesn't want to open her heart to him. Too many times she's let people in, only to have them desert her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKaren Hesse's voice and vision are grounded in truth; she takes on a nearly unharnessable subject, contains it, and makes it resonate with honesty. Part love story, part coming of age, \u003ci\u003ePhoenix Rising\u003c\/i\u003e is a tour de force by a gifted writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Hesse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0312535627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312535629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Square Fish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 4.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e11733 \/ Phoenix Rising\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Karen Hesse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987285541119,"sku":"9780312535629","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2310a67-dfc5-4901-9cb3-2846f1bf68f9.jpg?v=1683288072","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/phoenix-rising-karen-hesse-9780312535629","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
