Título: Very in Pieces
Autor: Megan Frazer Blakemore
Sinopse: In this coming-of-age novel perfect for fans of Susane Colasanti and Jandy Nelson, a straight-A student in a family of free-spirited artists must face the hard truths about those she loves most. Very Sayles-Woodruff could find the value of x with her eyes closed...but interpreting the paintings of her renowned artist mother or her famous grandmother’s poems does not come as easily. Even her little sister, Ramona, has the same artistic leanings as the rest of the women in their family. Very has always been the dependable, responsible one—that is, until her grandmother becomes terminally ill, causing all of the pieces of Very’s once-structured life to come crashing down. Casting aside her steady boyfriend, Very starts an unexpected fling with Dominic, a rebellious art student with a bad reputation. Things at home have also taken a turn. Very’s mother drinks all day, her father is never around, and Ramona is constantly skipping school. And that’s when the sculpture appears. Out of nowhere, a bottle cap design starts climbing up the stucco walls of the Woodruff house, growing by the day. Who is making the sculpture? What does it mean? With her grandmother nearing death and things heating up with Dominic, Very also has to confront the fact that the person behind the sculpture is struggling more than she could have imagined.
