Blue is an orphan girl who's been dressing up as a boy to keep her job as a newsboy at a local paper. Soon Blue befriends Crow, a boy who is also not what he seems, and together they seek the freedom to be their true selves.

Blue is an orphan who disguises herself as a newsboy. There's a war going on, and girls are expected to help the struggling economy by selling cookies. But Blue loves living and working at the Bugle, the only paper in town that tells the truth. And what's printed in the newspapers now matters more than ever.

"With her city at war, orphan Blue disguises herself as a newsboy for the only local paper that tells the truth, but a new friend gives her the courage to start seeking the freedom to be herself"--OCLC.
