"Sensitive and thoughtfulâ??a story about loss, friendship, and the beauty of self-discovery."â??Rebecca Stead, Newbery Medalâ??winning author of When You Reach Me

When Georgia finds a secret sketch her late fatherâ??a famed artistâ??left behind, the discovery leads her down a path that may reshape everything holding her family and friends together. Caroline Gertler's debut is a story about friendship, family, grief, and creativity. Fans of Rebecca Stead's Goodbye Stranger, Dan Gemeinhart's The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, and E. L. Konigsburg's From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler will find a new friend in Georgia.

Georgia Rosenbloom's father was a famous artist. His most well-known paintings were a series of asterismsâ??patterns of starsâ??that he created. One represented a bird, one himself, and one Georgia's mother. There was supposed to be a fourth asterism, but Georgia's father died before he could paint it. Georgia's mother and her best friend, Theo, are certain that the last asterism would've been of Georgia, but Georgia isn't so sure. She isn't sure about anything anymoreâ??including whether Theo is still her best friend.

Then Georgia finds a sketch her father made of her. One with pencil points marked on the backâ??just like those in the asterism paintings. Could this finally be the proof that the last painting would have been of her?

Georgia's quest to prove her theory takes her around her Upper West Side neighborhood in New York City and to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which was almost a second home to Georgia, having visited favorite artists and paintings there constantly with her father. But the sketch leads right back to where she's always belongedâ??with the people who… (plus d'informations)

Review to come after the Cybils Awards!
  GRgenius | Jul 31, 2022 |
A beautiful story about a girl dealing with the death of her famous artist father, navigating changing friendships (with her best friend who she's disconnecting from and a new girl in town), and finding out who she is as an artist and a person. Throw in solving an art mystery, and you have a compelling and heartfelt story that is hard to put down. Highly recommended! ( )
