Apple has imagined her mother returning and life being better. Nana is very strict, which can be embarrassing. She doesn’t allow Apple to walk to and from school or to hang out with other people, so Apple has few friends. Suddenly, Apple’s mother appears, and life changes instantly. When she decides to move in with her mother, Apple has a surprise: she has a sister, Rain. Rain hasn’t had a steady life and compensates by pretending that her doll is a real baby. Apple is now responsible for Apple because her mother is often at auditions. Her only solace is writing. The new English teacher has a great love for poetry and gives them daily assignments. Apple releases her emotions in these poems. Her other solace is a budding friendship with Del, the kid who moved in next door. Del is a breath of fresh air. He’s smart and has no care as to what other people think. He is perfectly content with who he is and finds Apple intriguing. As the novel progresses, you will feel pulled to help Rain. She’s had a lonely life; and, although she doesn’t want to share her mother, she really likes having a sister. Families and life are complicated. It’s how we deal with life, each other, and those we love that determine who we become or who we have the potential to be. Apple has to find the truths about her family and herself. I liked this novel and think many of you will feel a connection to Apple. (  )1  acargile | Sep 5, 2015 | Though this type of storyline is a familiar one, I was interested in how Sarah Crossan portrayed Apple and the other characters. Like One for the Murphys or The Great Gilly Hopkins, it's a story about family and a child who doesn't always see people for who they are, and as an adult reading it you have a very different perspective on what happens. I really like secondary characters like Del and Rain (who comes into it a bit later), and even the Nana who seemed really harsh and straight-laced to begin with and turns out to be very likable in her own way too. It's set in England, which I enjoyed, and is very different from the other Sarah Crossan titles I've read (Breathe and Resist), which I admired.

Un relato precioso y esperanzador sobre la soledad de una chica de trece años. Una historia sobre el poder redentor del amor. Una historia llena de emociones, que te hará reír y llorar. Cuando la madre de Apple regresa después de once años de ausencia, Apple se siente feliz de nuevo, y por fin puede tener respuesta a la pregunta que la ha acompañado durante tanto tiempo: ¿por qué te fuiste? Ahora tendrá a alguien que entiende de verdad qué significa ser adolescente, a diferencia de Nana, quien parece no comprenderla. Pero del mismo modo que la noche en la que su madre la abandonó, el regreso a casa de esta se acaba convirtiendo en algo agridulce, y Apple se preguntará de nuevo quién está realmente cuidando de quién. Apple se encuentra con alguien más perdido que ella y empieza a comprender cómo son las cosas en realidad. Ganadora del YA Prize y del CBI Book of the Year Award Finalista de la Carnegie Medal Finalista del Irish Book Award Seleccionada para The Guardian Children's Prize «Una novela conmovedora y realista que te enseña a aprender a amar y a asumir responsabilidades, y que nos recuerda cómo los poemas siempre dicen la verdad.» Sunday Times, Pick of the Week ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A beautiful and hopeful story about the loneliness of a thirteen-year-old girl.A story about the redemptive power of love.A story full of emotions that will make you laugh and cry. When Apple's mother returns after 11 years of absence, Apple feels whole again. She will have an answer to her burning question - why did you go? And she will have someone who understands what it means to be a teenager - unlike Nana. But just like the stormy Christmas Eve when she left, her mother's homecoming is bitter sweet, and Apple wonders who is really looking after whom. It's only when Apple meets someone more lost than she is, that she begins to see things as they really are. Like a brilliant hybrid of Cathy Cassidy and Jacqueline Wilson, Sarah Crossan entices you into her world, then tells a moving, perceptive, and beautifully crafted story which has the power to make you laugh and cry.

The book has lots of references to poems in it, which felt a bit heavy handed, like 'young people! We will sneakily make you like poetry!', but they were nice poems. (
