A Kirkus "Smart Reads for Teens" and an ALA Best Fiction for Young Adults Nominee for 2015
Printz Honor Award
YALSA 2015 list of best YA titles
After a traumatic experience involving her boyfriend, a gun, and their public high-school library, seventeen-year-old Emily Beam is sent far away to a girls' boarding school in Amherst, Massachusetts. To deal with her insomnia, she writes poems, and when a teacher lends her a biography of Emily Dickinson, Emily Beam becomes fascinated with the poet who once lived just down the street. With the help of her roommate, a petty thief, and a ghost from the nineteenth century, a broken girl learns how to be her own savior in this hopeful literary tale.
"Like Paper Covers Rock, this novel is accomplished, polished, and mixes prose and poetry to stunning effect." - Booklist, starred review
"A strong, gentle, smart and powerful book... As graceful as a feather drifting down, this lyrical story delivers a deep journey of healing on a tragic theme." - Kirkus, starred review
Jenny Hubbard is a poet and playwright, and has taught English in both high school and college for many years. Her first young adult novel, Paper Covers Rock, was a 2011 finalist for the prestigious William C. Morris Debut Award, an SLJ Best Book of 2011, Horn Book Fanfare Best of 2011, and 2011 Booklist Editor's Choice selection. Reminiscent of such coming-of-age classics as A Separate Peace and The Catcher in the Rye, it received four starred reviews as well as impressive endorsements from New York Times bestselling author Pat Conroy and National Book Award finalist Kathi Appelt.
