Résumé
From acclaimed author Tricia Springstubb comes a poignant and topical middle grade novel about the effects of an accidental shooting on family, friendship, and community. Perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Holm and Rita Williams-Garcia. Twelve-year-old Nella Sabatini's life is changing too soon, too fast. Her best friend, Clem, doesn't seem concerned; she's busy figuring out the best way to spend the "leap second"-an extra second about to be added to the world's official clock.
The only person who might understand how Nella feels is Angela, but the two of them have gone from being "secret sisters" to not talking at all. Then Angela's idolized big brother makes a terrible, fatal mistake, one that tears apart their tight-knit community and plunges his family into a whirlwind of harsh publicity and judgment. In the midst of this controversy, Nella is faced with a series of startling revelations about her parents, friends, and neighborhood.
As Angela's situation becomes dangerous, Nella must choose whether to stand by or stand up. Her heart tries to tell her what to do, but can you always trust your heart? The clock ticks down, and in that extra second, past and present merge-the future will be up to her. Tough Topics for Young Readers: This gripping story tackles complex issues of gun violence, community reaction, and racial tension with nuance and care, making it a perfect book for deep conversations.
Childhood Friends: Nella and Angela were once "secret sisters, " but after Angela's brother makes a terrible mistake, their loyalty is tested like never before. Standing Up for What's Right: When her friend's situation becomes dangerous and the community is torn apart by judgment, Nella must decide between staying silent and speaking the truth. Big Moral Questions: A powerful look at how one tragic mistake can force a kid to grapple with difficult questions about loyalty, justice, and the secrets adults keep.
