Description

A family divided, a country going to war, and a girl desperate to feel at home converge in this stunning novel in verse.Selected for Kids Indies Introduce List AND Kids Indie Next ListIts early September 2001, and twelveyearold Abbey is the new kid at school. Again. I worry about people speaking to me / and worry just the same / when they dont.Tennessee is her familys latest stop in a series of moves due to her dads work in the Army, but this one might be different. Her school is far from Base, and for the first time, Abbey has found a real friend loyal, courageous, athletic Camille. And then its September 11. The country is under attack, and Abbeys "home" looks like it might fall apart. America has changed overnight.How are we supposed / to keep this up / with the world / crumbling / around us?Abbeys body changes, too, while her classmates argue and her family falters. Like everyone around her, she tries to make sense of her own experience as a part of the countrys collective pain. With her mother grieving and her father prepping for active duty, Abbey must learn to cope on her own.Written in gorgeous narrative verse, Abbeys comingofage story accessibly portrays the military family experience during a tumultuous period in our history. At once personal and universal, its a perfect read for fans of sensitive, tenderhearted books like The Thing About Jellyfish.
