Overview
Speak enters the world of
Gossip Girl in this modern immigrant story from New York Times bestselling
author Kelly Yang about two girls navigating wealth, power, friendship, and
trauma.
They’re called
parachutes: teenagers dropped off to live in private homes and study in the
United States while their wealthy parents remain in Asia. Claire Wang never
thought she’d be one of them, until her parents pluck her from her privileged
life in Shanghai and enroll her at a high school in California.
Suddenly she
finds herself living in a stranger’s house, with no one to tell her what to do
for the first time in her life. She soon embraces her newfound
freedom, especially when the hottest and most eligible parachute, Jay,
asks her out.
Dani De La Cruz,
Claire’s new host sister, couldn’t be less thrilled that her mom rented out a
room to Claire. An academic and debate team star, Dani is determined to earn
her way into Yale, even if it means competing with privileged kids who are
buying their way to the top. But Dani’s game plan veers unexpectedly off
course when her debate coach starts working with her privately.
As they steer their own distinct paths, Dani and
Claire keep crashing into one another, setting a course that will change their
lives forever.
