Liberty

The bestselling author of Anatomy of Misfit and The Fall of Butterflies Andrea Portes is back with another irresistible snarky heroine in Liberty. What is a hero? Paige Nolan knows. Edward Raynes the young man who exposed America's unconstitutional spying techniques is a hero even if half the dum-dums in the country think he's a traitor. Or Paige's parents journalists who were captured by terrorists while telling stories of the endangered and oppressed. They were heroes too. Were. . . or are-no one has ever told Paige if they're still alive or dead.Not heroes? Anyone in the government who abandoned her parents letting them rot somewhere halfway across the world. And certainly not Paige herself who despite her fluency in five languages and mastery of several obscure martial arts (thanks Mom!) could do nothing to save them.Couldn't that is until she's approached by Madden Carter an undercover operative who gives her a mission-fly to Russia find Raynes and discover what other government secrets he's stockpiled. In exchange he'll reopen the case on her missing parents. She's given a code name and a cover as a foreign exchange student.Who is a hero? Not Paige Nolan but maybe just maybe Liberty is.
