The outside world is strange and dangerous.
That's the premise for I
Burn ($14.49, paperback, 9781545616062;
$6.99, e-book, 9781545625941), a young adult
fiction novella that features a society where there are less laws and more
people.
Mrs. Larson and her assistant, Hensley, take in a girl who
collapses behind their Seaside Bakery from a fever and nearly broken jaw. Safe
inside, the girl begins to recover and Hensley desperately wants to know her
name.
He secretly wonders if her words could save them all—if only
she would speak. While the world becomes more unhinged, the quiet bakery seems
like a haven. What will happen when peace is shattered and names must be said
out loud?
“While trying to participate in a dangerous world that is
full of differing opinions, the heroine is dealing with blossoming affections
and anxieties about self image,” Allison O'Donnell says. “Young adults today
can relate to her struggles between feeling and reason.
“Figuring out what is true, right, and wrong is difficult
for adults, let alone young adults, especially in this age of globalization and
technology,” the author adds. “This book seeks to give readers healthy examples
of how to participate in the timeless conversation.”
A native of Louisiana, Allison O'Donnell studied literature
and philosophy in New York City, where she currently lives.
