What to expect
Inside our broken home
we didn’t know how broken
the world outside was.
After the storm, Quinn can’t seem to go back to unremarkable. But her friends weren’t changed by the tornado. To them, the storm left behind a playground of abandoned houses and distracted adults. As Quinn struggles to find stability in the tornado’s aftermath, she must choose: between
homes, friendships, and versions of herself.
Nothing that was mine
yesterday is mine today.
Told in rich, spectacular verse, poet Caroline Brooks DuBois crafts a powerful story of redemption as Quinn makes her way from Before to After. This emotional coming-of-age journey for middle grade readers proves that it’s never too late to be the person you want to be.
