Polarity in
Motion
by
Brenda Vicars
Genre: Young Adult
Release Date: December 2,
2014
Fifteen-year-old Polarity Weeks just wants to live a normal
life, but with a mother diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, that’s
rarely easy. Her life gets exponentially more disastrous when her sixth-period
history classmates start ogling a nude picture of her on the Internet. Polarity
would never have struck such a shameless pose, but the photo is definitely of
her, and she’s at a complete loss to explain its existence.
Child Protective Services yanks her from her home,
suspecting her parents. The kids at school mock her, assuming she took it
herself. And Ethan, the boy she was really starting to like, backpedals and
joins the taunting chorus. Surrounded by disbelief and derision on all sides,
Polarity desperately seeks the truth among her friends. Only then does she
learn that everyone has dark secrets, and no one’s life is anywhere near
normal.

Brenda Vicars has worked in Texas public education for many
years. Her jobs have included teaching, serving as a principal, and directing
student support programs. For three years, she also taught college English to
prison inmates.
She entered education because she felt called to teach, but
her students taught her the biggest lesson: the playing field is not even for
all kids. Through her work, she became increasingly compelled to bring their
unheard voices to the page. The heartbeat of her fiction emanates from the
courage and resiliency of her students.
Brenda’s hobbies include reading, making things out of
re-purposed wood, pulling weeds in the garden, and going to Zumba
classes.
