She listens to her parents and follows every rule. After all, they're there for a reason-right? And adults always know best.\n\nTalia, the new girl from New York City, doesn't think so. After only a week at school, her bad reputation is already making enemies. First on the list: Charlotte, Rose's lifelong best friend.\n\nSo why can't Rose stop wondering what it would be like to be Talia's friend? And why does Rose read a banned book that she recommends? Rose doesn't know. But the forbidden book makes her ask questions she's never thought of in her life. When Talia suggests they start a banned book club, how can Rose say no?\n\nPushing against her parents, her school, and even Charlotte opens a new world for Rose. But when some of Talia's escapades become more scary than exciting, Rose must decide when it's right to keep quiet and when it's time to speak out.","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48240719069420,"sku":"9781250901514","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781250901514-banned-books-crop-tops-and-other-bad-influences-1.jpg?v=1787925226"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/brigit-young.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
