Description

From New York Times-bestselling author and 15-time Grammy Award-winning artist Alicia Keys comes a new authentic, honest, coming-of-age young adult graphic novel. Lolo Wright always thought she was just a regular fourteen-year-old dealing with regular family drama. But then Lolo's world explodes when a cop pulls a gun on her brother James in a dangerous case of mistaken identities. Staring down the barrel, with no one else to help, Lolo discovers powers she never knew she had. Using only her mind, she literally throws the cop out of the way. But secrets like Lolo's don't stay a secret for long. Skin, a dangerous dealer with designs on taking over the neighborhood, hears of Lolo's telekinetic abilities and decides that he needs her in his crew. Lolo's not willing to let Skin use her to hurt the people and neighborhood  she loves. But it's going to take a whole different kind of bravery to stand-up for what's right. Lolo's had her head in the clouds, but this time, it's on her ... and she's not backing down. Available in softcover and hardcover editions.
