Portrait of the artist as a young girl, from new teen writer Siobhan Vivian Emily is ready for a change.

But when she goes to Philadelphia for a summer art institute, she suddenly finds like-minded people. One in particular, Fiona, intrigues and challenges her. But there are some things Emily is going to have to find out for herself—like what the balance is between life and art, and which is more important when push comes to shove.
