None No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() ![]() Lucy and her parents move to Virginia for a fresh start after her little brother Theo's death of a heart condition. On top of the ongoing grief, the move rattles Lucy's sense of stability. Not only is she the new girl, but she is a new girl to classmates who survived a school shooting back in third grade. Lucy feels she can't compare her grief to theirs and because her parents don't talk about Theo, she has few outlets to process her feelings. Math, her favorite subject, can't help her find answers. An empathetic teacher, a mime class, and an unlikely friendship help Lucy find the courage to voice her needs. This book is a real gut-punch, a timely and honest treatment of grief in the wake of tragedy. no reviews | add a review
