Like their rebuilt city, this friendship cannot reconstitute as an exact replica of what they had before.... [an] appealing and sensitive novel." -The Horn Book , starred reviewA coming-of-age middle grade novel about three best friends born in the wake of Hurricane Katrina who must confront storms of their own 12 years later, from a National Book Award winning author. Born in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Greer, Joya Mia, and Kiki are seventh graders and the best of friends. After an accident leaves Greer's little sister paralyzed, Greer is forever changed by the experience and blames herself. Kiki and Joya Mia will do anything to help Greer let go of this emotional burden, and a plan is hatched to compete in a triathlon. Each girl will participate: Kiki will swim, Joya Mia will cycle, and Greer, if they can persuade her, will run-something she once loved to do. Set on the Westbank of New Orleans, this contemporary coming-of-age novel is a journey of growth, healing, and difficult transitions as the girls navigate their many life challenges: family trauma, body insecurity, and the conflict between ambition and responsibility. It's a powerful and enlightening exploration of how to surmount personal tragedy through friendship and forgiveness."A tender and triumphant story about friendship and family, in a proud and resilient city."―Deborah Wiles, author of the National Book Award finalists Each Little Bird That Sings and Revolution Author: Kimberly Willis Holt Format: Paperback EAN: 9780316326155 Country/Region of Manufacture: US ISBN-10: 0316326151 ISBN: 9780316326155 Item Length: 133mm Item Height: 197mm Genre: Children's Reference Item Width: 20mm Item Weight: 260g Intended Audience: Ages 9-12 Language: English Release Date: 03/06/2025 Type: Growing Up & Facts of Life Publisher: Little, Brown Young Readers Topic: Children's Books Release Year: 2025 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
