Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was excited to plan my son’s wedding. I was sure that everyone would want to be there, and I wanted to be able to enjoy the moment. My husband, on the other hand, preferred enjoying the here and now. #2 I had told Christine Bolton, my supervising social worker, to make a note that I was going into full-on spring-clean mode and would be ready to return to the fostering coal face at the beginning of June. But that was still almost a fortnight away. #3 I was asked to do a week’s respite for a 14-year-old girl named Elise Blackwell. She had lived all over the place with her father, then with her mother, then with her paternal grandmother, and so on. #4 The girl was eventually placed in care, and her parents never spoke to each other again. Her father had a new partner, and the two families moved in together. Elise started playing up to get her father’s attention.

Sweeping Up the Heart
Author: Kevin Henkes
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062852574
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
From two-time Newbery Honor and New York Times–bestselling author Kevin Henkes, this timeless novel about loss, loneliness, and friendship tells the story of the spring break that changes seventh-grader Amelia Albright’s life forever. Amelia Albright dreams about going to Florida for spring break like everyone else in her class, but her father—a cranky and stubborn English professor—has decided Florida is too much adventure. Now Amelia is stuck at home with him and her babysitter, the beloved Mrs. O’Brien. The week ahead promises to be boring, until Amelia meets Casey at her neighborhood art studio. Amelia has never been friends with a boy before, and the experience is both fraught and thrilling. When Casey claims to see the spirit of Amelia’s mother (who died ten years before), the pair embarks on an altogether different journey in their attempt to find her. Using crisp, lyrical, literary writing and moments of humor and truth, award-winning author Kevin Henkes deftly captures how it feels to be almost thirteen. With themes of family, death, grief, creativity, and loyalty, Sweeping Up the Heart is for readers of Kate DiCamillo, Rebecca Stead, Lauren Wolk, Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, and Pam Muñoz Ryan.
