Polarity in Motion
By Brenda Vicars
Genre: YA
Publication: December 2, 2014, Red Adept Publishing
Fifteen-year-old
Polarity Weeks just wants to live a normal life, but with a mother diagnosed
with borderline personality disorder, that’s rarely easy. Her life gets
exponentially more disastrous when her sixth-period history classmates start
ogling a nude picture of her on the Internet. Polarity would never have struck
such a shameless pose, but the photo is definitely of her, and she’s at a
complete loss to explain its existence.
Child
Protective Services yanks her from her home, suspecting her parents. The kids
at school mock her, assuming she took it herself. And Ethan, the boy she was
really starting to like, backpedals and joins the taunting chorus. Surrounded
by disbelief and derision on all sides, Polarity desperately seeks the truth
among her friends. Only then does she learn that everyone has dark secrets, and
no one’s life is anywhere near normal.
Author Bio
The
heartbeat of Brenda Vicars’ fiction emanates from the courage and resiliency of
her students. Her career in Texas public
education includes teaching, serving as a principal, and directing student
support services programs. For three
years she also taught college English to prison inmates, and outside of her job
she mentors children of incarcerated parents.
She
entered education because she felt called to teach, but she found that it was
students who taught her the biggest lesson:
the playing field is not even for all kids. Through her work she became
increasingly compelled to bring their unheard voices to the page.
