Zero by Diane Tullson

From Stellar Award writer Diane Tullson (The Red Sea, 2007/2008 winner) comes a realistic portrayal of Kas, a normal teenage girl with normal teenage troubles. On the surface, Kas has everything going for her – a place at the prestigious Whitchurch Secondary School of the Arts and a set of good friends in actress Marin and musician Jacob. But perfectionist Kas is never satisfied with her outstanding talent or her bright future, and begins destroying everything she holds dear, tearing apart her relationships and trashing her drawings. Her secret runs deep within the pages, a battle with anorexia and bulimia that is the gripping focus of this coming-of-age novel.
