Wild meets The Breakfast Club in Everything Beautiful Is Not Ruined; the story of a girl who must survive an extreme wilderness experience to prove to her mother that she has the strength to pursue her dreams.
Everything Beautiful Is Not Ruined is told with great humour and depth over the course of one summer. Stripped of every dignity and freedom, Ingrid is able to come to terms with her inner demons, and finally confronts the secret tragedy that defines her.
"Younge-Ullman’s subtle approach to narrative pacing allows readers to accompany Ingrid on her journey to fully confront and accept her past as she discovers her own true voice." -- Kirkus Reviews
