My Not-So-Still Life by Liz Gallagher: Book CoverMy Not-So-Still Life by Liz Gallagher

Synopsis:

Vanessa is wise beyond her years. She’s never really fit in at school, where all the kids act and dress the same. She’s an artist who expresses her talent in the wacky colors she dyes her hair, her makeup and clothes. She’s working on her biggest art project, and counting the days until she’s grown up and can really start living. That adult world seems closer when Vanessa gets her dream job at the art supply store, Palette, where she worships the couple who runs it, Oscar and Maye. And she’s drawn to a mysterious guy named James, who leads her into new, sometimes risky situations. Is she ready for this world, or not?

We have a few minutes, so we stand there looking around.  I watch the yearbook photographer, a junior in a Gates High sweatshirt, as she circulates.  A group of girls walking toward us all stop and put their arms around each other.  For the second they are posing, they look really happy.  Then the moment’s over and they just look bored.  

That is my teaser for this week.  What are you going to teaser me with?
