In Empress of the World, 15-year old Nic is spending her summer at the Siegel Institute Summer Program for Gifted Youth. There, Nic meets the gorgeous Battle, and the two fall in love. However, the story quickly becomes much more complicated as Battle begins dating a boy, and Nic and Battle break up. Nic has to grapple with the idea of bisexuality, since she also still feels attracted to boys. This witty, tender, realistic book explores friendships, the nature of love, and the social pressure of being called upon to label one's sexuality. Ryan, Sara. Empress of the world .
