A stunning YA verse novel that explores the challenges of being a 'glass child' – from the award-winning author of Solo.
Cáit has always been the perfect daughter. Studious, predictable, independent – all the things that her free-spirited, creative, complicated brother Fionn is not.
When Fionn loses grip on his life once again, Cáit’s perfect post-exam summer plans of freedom are shattered, along with her love for her brother. In a fit of fury and rebellion, Cáit turns to poetry. Guided by poets and poems, Cáit begins to find the words to express who she is outside of being Fionn’s perfect sister and her parent’s reliable daughter.
She’s going to demand they see her, at last.
