Knots
Norah is the good kid.
Good at pleasing her parents and being a good sister.
Good at school.
Good at, well, almost everything.
So when Mom’s work brings her to a new town, leaving Norah and Dad behind, no one thinks twice. After all, Norah’s a mature sixth grader now and she can take care of herself…right? But things spiral out of control after a botched home dye job goes from bad to worse and being the good kid quickly gets a little…hairy.
One small tangle becomes a knot of epic proportions, and Norah realizes that to untangle the mess she’s made, she’ll have to find her voice and ask for help.
