I was intrigued by Our Little World from the chilling first paragraph. Its a coming-of-age novel complicated by a tragic and untimely death, and its also a novel about two sisters you will never forget. I fell in love with the confidence of the writing and the colorful nostalgia of the mid-80s details. Our Little World will transport and transfix you.Elin Hilderbrand

July 1985. Its a normal, sweltering New Jersey summer for soon-to-be seventh grader Bee Kocsis. Her thoughts center only on sunny days spent at Deer Chase Lake, on evenings chasing fireflies around her cul-de-sac with the neighborhood kids, and on Max, the boy who just moved in across the street. Theres also the burgeoning worry that shell never be as special as her younger sister, Audrina, who seems to effortlessly dazzle wherever she goes.

But when Maxs little sister, Sally, goes missing at the lake, Bees long-held illusion of stability is shattered in an instant. As the families in her close-knit community turn inward, suspicious and protective, things in Bees own home become increasingly strained, most of all with Audrina, when a shameful secret surfaces. With everything changed, Bee and Audrinas already-fraught sisterhood is pushed to the limit as they grow upand apartin the wake of an innocence lost too soon.

Perfect for readers of Celeste Ngs Everything I Never Told You, Our Little World is a powerful and lyrical coming-of-age story that examines the complicated bond of sisterhood, the corrosive power of envy, and how the traumas of our youths can shape our identities for a lifetime.
