YA
At her new school, Bea connects with prickly Jonah. Their friendship truly starts when Jonah discovers that his brain-damaged twin, who supposedly died, is actually alive and institutionalized. Together the characters fumble toward fully formed identities and fulfilling relationships. Standiford realistically depicts both the social intricacies of a small school and the emotional nuances of two dysfunctional families.
