Mills, Jean

Mills’s book captures that awkward beauty of adolescence in this feel-good read that will have readers reaching for a ball of yarn. An excellent choice for YA readers, knitting enthusiasts, or anyone who just enjoys a good slice-of-life read.

Beautifully written, with vivid imagery of the Nova Scotia shore, this is a truly moving story of finding oneself after trauma, akin to Laurie Halse Anderson’s Speak, Francisco X. Stork’s The Memory of Light, and Maria Padian’s Wrecked.

A good addition to medium-to-large collections.
