YA
After Carrie's older sister died two years ago, Carrie stepped into Ginny's jelly shoes, partying with Ginny's friends to numb the pain. When Carrie's father sends her to a work camp at the nearby state park, she begins to find herself again. The 1980s upstate–New York backdrop and Carrie's interest in astronomy provide interesting vehicles for classic YA themes of loss and identity.
