Freddie’s life isn’t like it used to be – he’s alone, homeless, and carrying a secret that threatens to swallow him up. Every day is a struggle, until he meets Violet Johnson. Violet’s life is going down-hill. Her parents argue, her little brother’s stopped speaking, and she’s about to move schools. She used to be popular, she used to be happy, but now she feels as though that is all slipping away. Having to grow up quickly and find their way in the world, Freddie and Violet grow closer despite their differences. Focusing on everyday issues faced by teens and young adults, The Boy Who Lived in The Ceiling will leave you asking: Are some people invisible to us?

The Girl Who Wasn't
2021
A touching coming-of-age story about how far we’re willing to go to find a lasting friendship. Jeanette’s life currently revolves around caring for her agoraphobic and hoarder mother, all while dreaming of attending university for a musical theater course. When her mother’s illness worsens, she finds solace in a new friendship, but there’s one problem: the friendship started with a lie after she created a fake profile under the name of Marcia. Jack seems to have it all together, but his home life is anything but perfect. His mother is violent towards his father and, because of her own career as a professional tennis player, she doesn’t want Jack to pursue his love of music, but instead, college football. Jack’s one comfort is Marica, but when he finds out the truth, he is not sure what or who to believe. Attempting to escape their own problems, Jeanette and Jack lean on a newfound friendship and learn that not everyone is who they seem to be.
