About this ebook
With plenty of heart and humor, this coming-of-age story will make you feel good from the soles of your feet to the tips of your wings.
“The protagonist is a delightfully spunky teen whose witticisms will keep readers laughing. . . . Fans of Sarah Dessen will want to grab this one.”—School Library Journal
“Myra’s growing desire to break free from limited expectations is both fresh and relatable.”—Horn Book
Myra is used to keeping her feet firmly on the ground. She’s got four younger brothers, overworked parents, and a pregnant older sister. If Myra wasn’t there to take care of everyone, they’d probably fall apart.
But when her boyfriend unceremoniously dumps her, Myra feels like she’s lost her footing. Suddenly she’s doing things she never would have a few months earlier: jumping around in a chicken suit for a part-time job, competing against her ex-boyfriend for a scholarship to study birds in the Galápagos, and falling for a guy who’s encouraging her to leap from her old life . . . and fly.
