The Other Side of Blue

Autor Valerie O. Patterson
en Paperback – 3 apr 2011 – vârsta de la 12 ani
Cyan was named after a shade of blue, her artist mother's favorite color. The color of the sea. Since her father's death last year, she’s felt just as mercurial and dark as her namesake, and the distance between Cyan and her mother has grown as wide as an ocean. Now they're returning to the island of Curaçao in the Caribbean, where her father's mysterious accident occurred, and joining them will be Kammi--who may soon become a stepsister. Haunted by the secrets of the past, Cyan will explore all the depths of her blueness this summer, discovering the light, the darkness, and the many shades in between that are within her—and within us all.

Recenzii

"In her memorable first-person voice, filled with the minute observations of a young artist, Cyan sketches out with believable detail the beautiful setting, the unspoken family tension, and her fragile recovery of hope after loss."—Booklist "Readers will be compelled by these wrought family relations, and the mystery will keep them moving forward. A beautiful novel."—Childrens Literature "Artful writing and beautiful imagery combine to create a study of the various portraits of grief."—Kirkus "Cyan’s present-tense narration is fluid, restrained, and perceptive, and it’s balanced effectively between telling the story and conveying her grief and frustration. . . . There’s a smoothness and clarity here that recall Zibby Oneal or Frances O’Roark Dowell, and fans of those writers as well as readers drawn by family dramas with a bit of mystery will relish a sojourn on the island with Cyan."—Bulletin —
