The Longest Day

By Alicia Cahalane Lewis

The Longest Day is a bold contemporary coming-of-age novella about the power of speech, personal choice, and the courage to uncover what lies buried, both in history and within ourselves.

When Ellen Abigail Allen, a studious fifteen-year-old freshman at The Craftsman, an elite private school in Washington, D.C., is falsely accused of stealing archaeological data that points to the location of Nefertiti's lost tomb, her world is shattered. What follows is a traumatic violation that leads to a chilling threat from her biology teacher: stay silent, or be expelled.

Torn between fear and a desire for justice, Ellen stays silent. But when an ice storm traps her in the building overnight with her best friend, Sylvia, and the school's outsider, Justin, secrets unravel. Together, the three teens decode the mystery of the tomb and confront what they have been hiding for far too long.

A story of secrets unearthed, courage awakened, and wrongs made right.
