In the Big Apple at last!
\nBig artistic vision, short time to work.
\nPricey place, small paycheck, next steps?<\/p>\n
The story begun in Piper Perish<\/em> opens a new chapter for the teen artist as she arrives in New York City, far from family demands in Houston (= why I prefer this book to #1).<\/p>\n No need to read the first book to get caught up in Piper’s explorations of NYC’s art scene<\/a> and her own artistic ideas.<\/p>\n Head for your local library<\/a> or independent bookstore<\/a> to dive into NYC with Piper.<\/p>\n Away from home and family – what’s your first move?
