What’s it about?

Hunter Green sits on the radiator at school where she is in danger of sitting for the rest of her life.  When you’re a “big-boned” girl, speaking up is risky.  Her aunt tells her she’s perfect the way she is. The snickers from other girls tell her it is safer to fly under the radar than to stick up for herself or anyone else.

Trapped in her school uniform and a reality where adventure only exists in books (and never for girls who look like her) private grudges are her only escape. 

But when she falls through a grate in the sidewalk, the adventure might be more than she bargained for. She lands in the subway of a silent city, empty but for a few colorful inhabitants: a theatre troupe, a talented bear, a loud librarian, an old hermit who lives in the fountain and thousands of pigeons.  

To be the hero of her own story, she may have to break some rules. Home is a place you can sing out loud. She must find her voice … or perish under the dull grey heaviness of a concrete sky.
