SHORTLISTED FOR THE CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL

All the time Mum was away,
Eleven long years,
I saved up my hopes
Like little pennies in a jar.

Apple's mother disappeared years ago, leaving Apple with her nana and a lot of unanswered questions. But when she unexpectedly explodes back into Apple's life like a comet, homecoming is bittersweet. It's only when Apple meets someone more lost than she is that she begins to see things as they really are.

This beautiful novel from multi-award-winning author Sarah Crossan explores family, friendship and reconciliation. It is a story about how messy, complicated and surprising love can be.

Kritikerstimmen

This poignant, realistic tale is about learning to love and taking responsibility, and how poems can tell the truth …
A story of the redeeming power of love. It's beautifully written and it made me cry but it also made me laugh
Poignant, powerful, just perfect
Succinct, with a gentle lyricism, the poems are telling about immigration, prejudice, self-delusion, families and first love, on the way to a life-changing conclusion
Exquistely and touchingly written
