Summary:

Eleven-year-old Alice Duncan feels lost and scared when her body goes through enormous changes, drawing her into the public eye and making her self-conscious, so when she is sent to an exclusive art school where she finds that refuge with other misfits, she begins to think her life is finally starting to turn around.
