Description
Being bad never felt so good. Poppy Browne never stole anything in her life before moving to Pleasant Acres and meeting Mary Jane and Whitney. But when Poppy walks out of the mall with her two new friends and her first pair of stolen jeans, she's hooked. Before long, Poppy is lifting whenever she gets the urge--it's never about the merchandise, it's always about the thrill. But when her secret gets out, Poppy's clique turns on each other. As she watches her life collapse around her, Poppy must decide where her loyalties lie...and how far she'll go to protect herself.

Reviews
Especially well drawn is Poppy's crush, a quirky, sincere minister's son, who--as Poppy's world spins out of control--comforts her with unconditional support: "We all make mistakes. It says so in the Bible, so it's gotta be true." Will appeal to all teens interested in wayward behavior.
--Booklist
"Lifted is the story of an imperfect heroine seeking her place not only in school, but in life. Its exploration of the amount of truth behind social and religious stereotypes escalates into a double-dog dare to believe them. A haunting morality tale that will leave you questioning just what it means to be "good." --Aprilynne Pike, author of the #1 New York Times Best Selling novel Wings
"Smart, deftly written, and extremely well-observed, Wendy Toliver's Lifted is so realistic and moving I felt like I was transported right inside Poppy's world, watching as she struggled to navigate her way through a school where appearances are deceiving and no one is quite what they seem. A hard to put down, compelling read!" --Alyson Noël, #1 New York Times Best Selling author of The Immortals series
