In the debut novel from the bestselling author of Friday Black, two top women gladiators fight for their freedom within a depraved private prison system not so far removed from America’s own, a dystopian vision that The Washington Post suggests “should permanently shift our understanding of who we are and what we’re capable of doing.”

But here he asks: How does mischievous wonder and anarchic energy curdle into something more disturbing and violent? Shy is "a sad, wild, beautiful, brave, and funny journey through one struggling teenager’s brain" (Will Ashon).
