The Liar's Daughter

Dead Girls Talking

Nomeado para o prémio YALSA Atribuído pela American Library Association Perturbador. Intenso. Viciante. Ela cresceu num culto. O seu pai é o líder... e um mentiroso. Chama-se Piper, tem 17 anos e é filha de um profeta. Ela obedece e respeita o pai, e por essa razão cuida das irmãs mais novas e prepara-se para o apocalipse. Porque assim foi ensinada e nunca o deve questionar. Até ao dia em que arrancam Piper da família que sempre conheceu e a levam para o Exterior: esse mundo que lhe foi ocultado desde criança, um mundo desconhecido e longe de Caspian, o rapaz que ela ama. Nesta nova realidade, tentam convencê-la de que o seu pai é maquiavélico, um fanático. E há uma mulher que diz ser sua mãe. Mas Piper recusa-se a aceitar e só quer fugir para regressar a casa... Afinal, no que deve acreditar? Nas palavras dos seus raptores? Ou na única verdade que conhece? «Os leitores seguirão Piper num difícil labirinto psicológico enquanto esta tenta descortinar o que é real e imaginação. A luta pela sua saúde mental é genuína e avassaladora.» - School Library Journal
