| Synopsis | Alcoholism, loss, and religion intertwine in this thoughtful young adult novel set in early 1980s Ireland, which tells the tale of 15-year-old Shell Talent. The loss of her mother has transformed Shell’s life for the worse. Her intensely religious, drink-addled father doesn’t help much with her younger siblings, and school has become something to skip rather than attend. Soon, Shell’s affections for a boy go from bliss to terror, making her life even more difficult. Both a 2007 Publishers Weekly Best Children’s Book and a Kirkus Reviews Best Young-Adult Book.
