Glimpse
This stunning and PEN Award–winning novel of triumph over trauma is a “page-turner for Ellen Hopkins fans” (Kirkus Reviews).
In one moment
it is over.
In one moment
it is gone.
Twelve-year-old Hope’s life is turned upside down when her older sister, Lizzie, becomes an elective mute and is institutionalized after trying to kill herself.
The Chapman girls can always count on each other. Hope and Lizzie have relied on each other from a young age, ever since their dad died. But even sisters have secrets. And if Hope's older sister, Lizzie, has her way she will take her secret to the grave. With Lizzie on lockdown, perhaps Hope can find the truth and save her sister before it's too late.
During the course of this lyrical and heartbreaking narrative, told in blank verse from an exceptionally promising YA voice, readers will discover the chilling reason why Lizzie has stopped speaking—and why Hope is the only one who can bring the truth to light and save her sister.
