Glitter Gets Everywhere - Paperback

by Yvette Clark (Author)

This debut novel is a poignant exploration of grief, change, and hope, perfect for fans of Lisa Graff and Lindsey Stoddard.

After Kitty's mother dies on an inappropriately sunny Tuesday, all Kitty wants is for her life to go back to "normal"--whatever that will mean without her mum. Instead, her dad announces that he, Kitty, and her sister are moving from their home in London to New York City, and Kitty will need to say goodbye to the places and people that help keep her mother's memory alive.

New York is every bit as big and bustling as Kitty's heard, and as she adjusts to life there and befriends a blue-haired boy, she starts to wonder if her memories of her mum don't need to stay in one place--if there's a way for them to be with Kitty every day, everywhere.

Grief is messy. But as Kitty learns, sometimes it's the glitter that gets everywhere.

• Loss of a Parent: Kitty's world is turned upside down after her mum dies. This tender story explores how love and memory can follow you anywhere, even across an ocean.
• Sister Relationships: Follows the evolving bond between Kitty and her older sister, Imogen, as they lean on each other through their shared loss and big changes.
• New Friendships: A sweet, budding friendship with a boy with blue hair helps Kitty realize that a new city might not be so bad after all.
• Finding Hope: A heartfelt and ultimately uplifting story that shows how even after the biggest loss, you can find little sparkles of hope--and that glitter really does get everywhere.
