That<U+2019>s the first thing Echo notices as she settles into Dartmouth College. Despite graduating high school in Cleveland as valedictorian, Echo immediately struggles to keep up in demanding classes. Dartmouth made many promises it couldn't keep. The campus is not a rainbow-colored utopia where education lifts every voice. Nor is it a paradise of ideas, an incubator of inclusivity, or even an exciting dating scene. But it might be a portal to different dimensions of time and space<U+2014>only accessible if Echo accepts her calling as a Chosen One and takes charge of her future by healing her past. In mesmerizing personal narrative and magical realism, Echo Brown confronts mental illness, grief, racism, love, friendship, ambition, self-worth, and belonging as they steer the fates of first-generation college students on Dartmouth<U+2019>s campus. The Chosen One is an unforgettable coming-of-age story that bravely unpacks the double-edged college transition<U+2014>as both catalyst for old wounds and a fresh start. Ages 14 & up.
