Little but Fierce

By: Gigi Lain

YA Fiction, Coming of Age: Dash Durham is a catastrophizer with Social Anxiety Disorder who willingly coasts in the shadow of her popular cousin. But he's turning into a rock star while she's a poster child for arrested development. He's killing it on stage while she's trying not to hurl in speech class. Worst of all, he's off to a posh boarding school while she's just been canceled by the Queen Bee of her freshman class. Afraid her family of super-achievers will freak if they discover she's an Epic Fail, Dash vows to conceal her circumstances until she's successfully rewired her brain with a self-help book. (Because what could go wrong, right?)Our girl's plucky, but fear of rejection is an uphill battle. She's hiding her crush because who wants to date a 4'11" Elf on the Shelf? She's hiding her identity because who wants Public Enemy #1 as her Bestie? She's so worried she'll be stuffed in her locker (she'd fit, after all), she's made a secret chill spot behind the filing cabinets in the journalism closet. Things get real when she finds a chance to grab the brass ring of her dreams. Can she overcome a bullying rival, 400 hostile freshmen, and her own fear of the spotlight to seize the day, the boy, and the prize?No matter what happens, Dash Durham is about to learn that "though she be but little, she is fierce."
