Beskrivning

From the author of If I Can Give You That comes an emotional novel that follows a transgender teen who must grapple with a friendship fracturing and a new romance blossoming, all while being haunted by a devastating loss. A must-read for fans of How It Feels to Float and The Ghosts We Keep.Caleb’s world broke the day his brother died of a drug overdose. Now in the throes of grief, Caleb hardly ever sees his friends anymore, and school isn’t much better. He’s on the verge of failing his songwriting class, never mind that music used to be his greatest passion. Even Tanya, his best friend, is growing tired of trying to push him back into his life.But perhaps most concerning of all: A black cat has been following Caleb around…a cat that only he can see. A cat that may just be a ghost.Then Caleb is assigned a songwriting partner in class: Emmett, the nonbinary lead singer of a local punk band. The cat takes a liking to Emmett—and maybe Caleb does, too. As they write together, Caleb begins opening up about his grief, and the two realize they have more in common than expected. Now Caleb will have to decide if he is ready to heal with Emmett’s help—or recede in life and become as invisible as the ghostly cat at his heel.

“This book offers positive representation that will resonate with many young adult readers, especially fans of Meredith Russo and Kacen Callender.” — Booklist“A moving novel about grief and the possibility of hope after loss. Bulla creates an open and inclusive narrative for the characters to share their experiences as LGBTQIA+ teens. This story is touching, heartbreaking, and poignant. A must for readers who enjoy complex emotional journeys.” — School Library Journal“The book has moments of rich emotion.” — Kirkus Reviews"Laden with audience-engaging punk rock and emo music references and realistically depicting the casual access to drugs and alcohol in high school, this book explores the complex relationship between grief and love while tackling difficult subjects like addiction, substance abuse, abusive relationships, and suicide." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
