Saving Red - Tapa blanda

"A new book from Sonya Sones is always an event, and Saving Red shows why. This tender, taut novel in verse is both wise and full of heart."--Deb Caletti, National Book Award finalist and author of Essential Maps for the Lost

"Original. Heart-wrenching. A beautiful treatise on empathy and love. These characters belong to you-as your own friends-when you read their story. Saving Red is an absolute treasure."--John Corey Whaley, Printz Award winner and National Book Award finalist

"Each carefully crafted poem comes together to paint a vivid picture of love, loss, and the hope and humor that's caught in between. Saving Red soars and will speak to the hearts of teen readers everywhere."--Dr. Rose Brock, Sam Houston State University

"I love the way Sones' verse carries the reader through the journey as though we're riding a wave. We never know where it will crash down, or where it will lift us up gently--until it does."--Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award winner

"A page-turning novel in verse about loss, grief, and redemption told in the voice of a wide-eyed, naive fourteen-year-old. A quick, accessible read for fans of emotional, character-driven titles."--School Library Journal

"Sones tackles the topic of homelessness, runaways, and mental illness in another hard-hitting, but never overly dark, novel in verse. A beautiful window into the desperate futility of trying to save someone who doesn't necessarily want to be saved."--Booklist (starred review)

"[A] moving verse novel from Sones. Sones's staccato, first-person poems sensitively trace the innocence Molly sheds as her world expands."--Publishers Weekly
