Imogen is such an unforgettable character – she’s girly and brash and innocent and incredibly tough all at the same time. Many thanks to Sarah for taking the time to chat with us, but on top of that, SHE COMES BEARING PRIZES! Leave a comment on this post and you’ll be entered to win a copy of the book and a BRUISED water bottle. And now, let’s talk Tae Kwon Do, gender roles, and Bunnicula with Sarah! But now her sense of self has been challenged and she must rebuild her life, a process that includes redefining her relationship with her family and navigating first love with the boy who was at the diner with her during the shootout. Before the shooting, she believed that her black belt made her stronger than everyone else - more responsible, more capable. When Imogen, a sixteen-year-old black belt in Tae Kwon Do, freezes during a holdup at a local diner, the gunman is shot and killed by the police, and she blames herself for his death. She’s a wonderful character, but the premise is pretty undeniable, too:
I adored this book, especially its gutsy, conflicted, and very-much-in-need-of-a-hug narrator, Imogen. Today we’re talking to Sarah Skilton, whose debut novel, BRUISED, hit stores yesterday.
