Paper Butterflies
June’s life at home with her stepmother and stepsister is a dark one—and a secret one. Not even her dad knows the truth, and she can’t find the words to tell anyone else. She’s trapped like a butterfly in a net. Then June meets Blister, a boy from a large, loving, chaotic family. In him, she finds a glimmer of hope that perhaps she can find a way to fly far, far away. Because she deserves her freedom. Doesn’t she?

Reviews
VOYA
“[A] beautifully heartbreaking story . . .”—VOYA
School Library Journal
“A good selection for large libraries serving young adults.”—School Library Journal
Booklist
“June’s story is all the more heartbreaking because her visceral account, though fiction, is undoubtedly a reality for children suffering from abuse behind closed doors. . . . [T]his novel, a 2017 Carnegie Medal nominee in Great Britain, manages to end on a hopeful note.”—Booklist
The Guardian
“A harrowing account of abuse, retaliation and love against the odds. . . .®eaders feeling tough enough to traverse Heathfield’s dark places will find transporting joy in her interludes of sunlight.”—The Guardian
