Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Jen White's A Thousand Minutes to Sunlight is a sensitively-written middle grade novel about a girl struggling with anxiety, family secrets, and the meaning of friendship.
Cora is constantly counting the minutes. It's the only thing that stops her brain from rattling with worry, from convincing her that danger is up ahead. Afraid of the unknown, Cora spends her days with her feet tucked into sand, marveling at La Quinta beach's giant waves and her little sister Sunshine's boundless energy.
And then danger really does show up at Cora's doorstep--her absentee uncle, whose sudden presence in the middle of the night makes her parents nervous and secretive. As dawn breaks once more, Cora must piece together her family and herself, one minute at a time.
A Thousand Minutes to Sunlight is an endearing and revelatory middle-grade novel that is perfect for fans of Counting by 7s and Fish in a Tree.
Ages 12-18. Farrar Straus Giroux Books for Young Readers.
Grades 10-12. Farrar Straus Giroux Books for Young Readers.
To stave off the anxiety plaguing her, Cora counts the minutes that fill her day and searches for a lost treasure near her home in California, but the sudden arrival of her long-lost uncle threatens to upend her carefully-constructed existence.
