(1) YA "Bloody Ballerina" Orianna Speerling, fifteen, is convicted of murdering two rival dancers. A month after her sentence begins, all forty-two girls at the detention center die in an unexplained mass killing. Ori's story is revealed through unreliable narrators Violet, Ori's best friend and fellow dancer, and Amber, another inmate. Lyrical, authoritative prose weaves the three girls' disparate lives into a single, spellbinding narrative.
