New York Times best-selling author Ann Hood pens a poignant story of
grief and adolescent despair in this follow-up to Jude Banks,
Superhero. Meet Clementine. She's quippy, sarcastic, and dramatic. And
the overwhelming guilt of her sister's death weighs on her so heavily
that she no longer feels like living. As Clementine and her mother
attempt to continue their lives after Halley's death, the world around
them changes. Clementine's best friend now feels like a stranger. Her
new school is full of spoiled, carefree kids. She kisses boys just to
feel something. She tries to live in the moment. But ultimately,
Clementine feels trapped in a snow globe: the real world is out there,
while she's stuck in a world where tears like gallons fall all around
her. In her signature lyrical prose, Hood crafts an extraordinary
story of grief and guilt, asking the important question: How can you
find the will to live again in the face of overwhelming despair?
Praise for Jude Banks, Superhero: "Hood is brilliant at showing the
ordinary moments of a family’s heartbreak… There are many readers
who are navigating guilt and sorrow right now — for them, this book
is a must. And for those lucky enough to take the journey only in
their imaginations, this is a story of resilience in the face of
devastating pain.”—New York Times Book Review "A tender
story of grief and joy... a remarkable read."—School Library
Connection (Starred Review) "Hood’s careful gardening of emotions
makes this a striking read... Fans of Ali Benjamin's The Thing about
Jellyfish will appreciate Jude’s search for meaning and reason as he
learns to live around the hole his sister has left."—Booklist
(Starred Review) “Ann Hood tells Jude’s story of grief without
coating it in too much sugar; it’s real, and therein lies its power.
Jude Banks is a mirror for anyone who’s experienced loss, and a
testament to the power of human connection.”—Jack Cheng,
award-winning author of See You in the Cosmos "Jude Banks is warm
and inviting, even as it balances the difficult topics of loss and
healing—a powerful and compelling story for anyone who has known
loss."—Rex Ogle, award winning author of Free Lunch
