GLITTER GETS EVERYWHERE

Yvette Clark

A charming middle grade debut that's a fish-out-of-water story involving grief and the Great British Bake-Off.

Since her mum died -- on an inappropriately sunny Tuesday ---12-year-old Londoner Kitty doesn't want anything else to change. So when her father announces that the family is temporarily moving to New York City, Kitty is miserable. Bright lights, big city? No, thanks. In Manhattan, Kitty worries that she'll be attacked by a rat on the subway or labelled a stuck-up Brit. Maybe both! But as she navigates her new American school and befriends a blue-haired boy, Kitty begins to realize that change is part of life and, sometimes, it's not entirely terrible.

A voice-driven contemporary novel that will happily mingle with fiction from Jo Knowles, Rebecca Stead, and Ali Benjamin.
