From two-time Newbery Honor and New York Times-bestselling author
Kevin Henkes, this timeless novel about loss, loneliness, and
friendship tells the story of the spring break that changes
seventh-grader Amelia Albright's life forever. Amelia Albright
dreams about going to Florida for spring break like everyone else
in her class, but her father-a cranky and stubborn English
professor-has decided Florida is too much adventure. Now Amelia is
stuck at home with him and her babysitter, the beloved Mrs.
O'Brien. The week ahead promises to be boring, until Amelia meets
Casey at her neighborhood art studio. Amelia has never been friends
with a boy before, and the experience is both fraught and
thrilling. When Casey claims to see the spirit of Amelia's mother
(who died ten years before), the pair embarks on an altogether
different journey in their attempt to find her. Using crisp,
lyrical, literary writing and moments of humor and truth,
award-winning author Kevin Henkes deftly captures how it feels to
be almost thirteen. With themes of family, death, grief,
creativity, and loyalty, Sweeping Up the Heart is for readers of
Kate DiCamillo, Rebecca Stead, Lauren Wolk, Kimberly Brubaker
Bradley, and Pam Munoz Ryan.
