Sensitive and thoughtful-a story about loss, friendship, and the beauty of self-discovery.-Rebecca Stead, Newbery Medal-winning author of When You Reach MeWhen Georgia finds a secret sketch her late father-a famed artist-left behind, the discovery leads her down a path that may reshape everything holding her family and friends together. Caroline Gertlers debut is a story about friendship, family, grief, and creativity. Fans of Rebecca Steads Goodbye Stranger, Dan Gemeinharts The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, and E. L. Konigsburgs From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler will find a new friend in Georgia.Georgia Rosenblooms father was a famous artist. His most well-known paintings were a series of asterisms-patterns of stars-that he created. One represented a bird, one himself, and one Georgias mother. There was supposed to be a fourth asterism, but Georgias father died before he could paint it. Georgias mother and her best friend, Theo, are certain that the last asterism wouldve been of Georgia, but Georgia isnt so sure. She isnt sure about anything anymore-including whether Theo is still her best friend.Then Georgia finds a sketch her father made of her. One with pencil points marked on the back-just like those in the asterism paintings. Could this finally be the proof that the last painting would have been of her?Georgias quest to prove her theory takes her around her Upper West Side neighborhood in New York City and to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which was almost a second home to Georgia, having visited favorite artists and paintings there constantly with her father. But the sketch leads right back to where shes always belonged-with the people who love her no matter what.
