When best friends Tai and Mila are reunited after a summer apart, their friendship threatens to combust from the pressure of secrets, middle school, and the looming dance auditions for a new talented-and-gifted program. Fans of Renée Watson’s Piecing Me Together will love this memorable story about a complex friendship between two very different African American girls—and the importance of speaking up. Jamila Phillips and Tai Johnson have been inseparable since they were toddlers, having grown up across the street from each other in Pirates Cove, a low-income housing project. As summer comes to an end, Tai can’t wait for Mila to return from spending a month with her aunt in the suburbs. But both girls are grappling with secrets, and when Mila returns she’s more focused on her upcoming dance auditions than hanging out with Tai. Paula Chase explores complex issues that affect many young teens, and So Done offers a powerful message about speaking up. Full of ballet, basketball, family, and daily life in Pirates Cove, this memorable novel is for fans of Ali Benjamin’s The Thing About Jellyfish and Jason Reynolds’s Ghost.

A luminescent book about loss and grief, love and hope, and the healing power of friendship and nature, from New York Times–bestselling author Brian Lies. Readers of Cynthia Rylant’s classic Dog Heaven, the Fan Brothers’ The Night Gardener, and anyone experiencing loss will be swept up by this poignant story.

In un modo molto semplice e che prende, accattivante, elettrizzante, in alcuni tratti scoppiettante, mai noioso ed a portata di tutti, indipendentemente dall'età, estrazione sociale, istruzione, oppure nazionalità, l'autore racconta la straordinaria storia di vita per quello che è stata. Per quello che è realmente. Un affascinante e meraviglioso cammino trasversale in tempo e spazio. Cammino fatto di piccole scoperte e grandi crescite, di grosse fatiche e dolci momenti tranquilli, sconfitte e vittorie, dolori e gioie, di forti terremoti ed interessanti viaggi, importanti rivoluzioni e profondi cambiamenti. Una vita vera, vissuta a viso scoperto. Raccontata con un linguaggio adatto per ogni sua fase, in ogni suo momento. Per ogni suo periodo. Un libro che si lascia, si fa leggere molto volentieri in qualsiasi situazione, in qualsiasi contesto, con qualsiasi disponibilità di tempo. Un continuo crescendo mai stancante. Al suo interno, si trova l'autobiografia ben narrata, di una vita vissuta con convinzione, determinazione, coraggio e voglia di vivere, in un modo molto intenso, passionale, complesso, completo, con tanto amore e rispetto per la vita stessa. Si incontra il diario molto colorito e variegato di un grande viaggio. Il reportage ricco e completo di tutto. Le inflessioni del giallo, che tengono non poche volte, con il fiato sospeso. Un libro che non finisce lasciando indifferenti, non finisce senza lasciare un qualcosa di importante. Senza arricchire al meno un po'. Da assorbire in un solo fiato, oppure a piccoli sorsi. Qualsiasi scelta e giusta, senza deformare in nessun modo il suo contenuto. La sua natura. Un libro che si trova al suo aggio nella camera da letto, prima di addormentarsi. Sui mezzi di trasporto, andando a scuola, al lavoro, oppure tornando a casa. Nelle piccole o grandi pause della giornata, al parco, nelle vacanze. In spiaggia sotto l'ombrellone. PUBLISHER: TEKTIME
