Jensen, Cordelia

Skyscraping

(3) YA When Mira discovers a distressing fact about her parents' marriage, it drives her into a rebellious senior year. Then a health crisis forces her to reevaluate how she feels about her father and her unconventional family. Written in straightforward, accessible free verse tinged with celestial metaphors, this story--set in a well-rendered 1993 NYC--is sincere, touching, and heartwrenching.
