Qu es un h roe? Paige Nolan lo sabe. Edward Raynes, el joven que expone las t cnicas inconstitucionales de espionaje de Am rica, es un h roe, incluso si la mitad del pa s piensa que es un traidor.

Fueron... o son nadie le ha confirmado a Paige si est n vivos o muertos.
Qui nes no son h roes? Cualquier persona en el gobierno que abandon a sus padres, dej ndoles pudrirse a medio camino en alg n lugar del mundo.

A cambio de lo cual, l reabrir el caso de sus padres desaparecidos. Le da un seud nimo y una identidad encubierta como estudiante de intercambio. Qui n es un h roe? No Paige Nolan, pero quiz s, s lo quiz s, la libertad.
The bestselling author of Anatomy of Misfit and The Fall of Butterflies, Andrea Portes, is back with another irresistible snarky heroine in Liberty.
What is a hero? Paige Nolan knows. Edward Raynes, the young man who exposed America's unconstitutional spying techniques, is a hero, even if half the dum-dums in the country think he's a traitor. Or Paige's parents, journalists who were captured by terrorists while telling stories of the endangered and oppressed. They were heroes, too. Were... or are--no one has ever told Paige if they're still alive, or dead.
Not heroes? Anyone in the government who abandoned her parents, letting them rot somewhere halfway across the world. And certainly not Paige herself, who despite her fluency in five languages and mastery of several obscure martial arts (thanks, Mom ) could do nothing to save them.
Couldn't, that is, until she's approached by Madden Carter, an undercover operative who gives her a mission--fly to Russia, find Raynes, and discover what other government secrets he's stockpiled. In exchange, he'll reopen the case on her missing parents. She's given a code name and a cover as a foreign exchange student.
Who is a hero? Not Paige Nolan, but maybe, just maybe, Liberty is.
