Suffering from a rare disease, June is confined to the Home for Compromised Children. Constant supervision ensures her safety, but June finds it stifling.

And if she does, is she prepared for the consequences?
An excerpt from Compromised:
What is a hi-lo book? “Hi-lo (high-interest, low readability) books are designed to engage struggling readers by exploring complex, age-appropriate themes at a lower reading level. They typically feature simple sentences, controlled vocabulary, lower page counts, and short chapters.”— School Library Journal
