Silence Is Goldfish

(2) YA Tess, fifteen, is an offbeat English introvert with a highly involved dad. After she discovers his startling blog post recounting her own birth ("It wasn't my daughter. It was...some sperm donor's"), her anger emboldens her to stand up against Dad's expectations. Her rebellion of choice is silence, but her narrative voice speaks loudly--Tess is a witty and appealing protagonist.
