Her father has become emotionally distant and even her best friend has found a new sense of identity in her theater group. Unfortunately, nobody in her rural West Virginia town has time for an assertive, angry girl, especially a girl dubbed \"Ice Queen\" for refusing to sleep with her popular boyfriend. On top of everything, she discovers a strange ability to sense energy that really freaks her out. The only place Viv feels like it's safe to be her true self is the tree stand where her aunt taught her to hunt. It's the one place she still feels connected to the person who knew her best. So when fracking destroys the stand and almost kills her, Viv vows to find a way to take the gas company down. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When Dex Mathews comes to town--a new kid whose mom lands a job laying pipeline--his and Viv's worlds collide and a friendship (and maybe more?) slowly blossoms. But Viv's plan to sabotage the pipeline company could result in Dex's mom losing her job, putting them on the streets. Now Viv and Dex have to decide what's worth fighting for--their families, their principles, or each other.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNora Shalaway Carpenter\u003c\/b\u003e's young adult novels and anthologies have been named \"Best of the Year\" by NPR, \u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e, Bank Street Books, and \u003ci\u003eA Mighty Girl, \u003c\/i\u003e and have won accolades including the Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection, the Whippoorwill Award for authentic rural fiction, and the Nautilus Award championing \"better books for a better world.\" She holds an MFA in Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts and serves as faculty for the Highlights Foundation's Whole Novel Workshop and Intro to Short Fiction class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 8.4 x 5.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 12, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47457749532850,"sku":"9780762480999","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/d2fc467b9a10f9eeee894abe07e25f8c.webp?v=1778884201","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/fault-lines-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
