Synopsis

When Sumi's brother leaves for boarding school, her best friend moves away, her grandfather dies, and her mother withdraws into grief, Sumi finds herself facing the beginning of adolescence alone and afraid.

Reviews

Set in the early '60s, this tender novel examines the pain of growing up through a girl's sense of loss. The death of Grandfather Gene marks the first disruption of Sumi Kell's 11th year. The second occurs when Drake, her older brother, leaves home to attend private school. After his departure, the house seems empty, adults act preoccupied, and Sumi feels distanced from other girls in her class who have taken a sudden interest in clothes and boys. When best friend Keezie moves away, Sumi is devastated. She tries to fit in at school by emulating the manners of a popular, young teacher, but her efforts prove futile. No single event dispels Sumi's feelings of isolation; gradually she comes to accept her altered world and view it from a new perspective. Through beautiful prose and sharp imagery, Lyon crystallizes the significant moments in this child's life. First-person narration allows readers to become intimately involved with Sumi's emotional struggles; those who enjoy a quiet, reflective read will cherish this sensitive book. Ages 11-14.

Store Description

My main business is the operation of a custom frame shop and art gallery (specializing in original art and antique prints). Since writing, illustrating, the design and manufacture of books are art forms, I have included books in my gallery. Most are vintage, antique, or just previously read, and include first editions as well as signed editions. Over half of my inventory is non-fiction. I enjoy my framing business but I LOVE my book business!
