Bøker av Lauren J. Sharkey

Rowan Kelly knows she''s lucky. After all, if she hadn''t been adopted by Marie and Joseph, she could have spent her days in a rice paddy, or a windowless warehouse assembling iPhones - they make iPhones in Korea, right? Either way, slowly dying of boredom on Long Island is surely better than the alternative. According to Marie and Joseph, being adopted means Rowan is ''special''; but when she''s sent to kindergarten at an all-white Catholic girls'' school, she realises that ''special'' means ''different,'' and not in a good way. Rowan sets out to prove that she can be someone''s first choice - that she isn''t just a consolation prize.
