Sixteen-year-old Raphaelle says the wrong thing, antagonizes the wrong people and has the wrong attitude. She cant 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 make a new start. Reborn as Ella, she tries to fit in at her new school. Shes drawn to Samir, a Muslim boy in her art class, and expresses her confused feelings in explicit art. When a classmate texts a photo of Ellas art to a younger friend, the fallout spreads throughout Ellas life, threatening to destroy her already-fragile family. Told entirely in verse, Audacious is a brave, funny and hard-hitting portrait of a girl who embodies the word audacity.,
