Our Little World : A Novel

Booklist


From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.

Four-year-old Sally Baker disappears from a New Jersey town in the summer of 1985, leaving only a broken charm bracelet in the sand. Reeling from the tragedy are 12-year-old Bee Kocsis and her sister, Audrina, who were with the Bakers when Sally went missing. As fear and suspicion grip her neighbors, Bee notices secrets even within her own home, such as the jewelry in her father's desk that her mother never seems to receive. Told in first person, Winn's debut brilliantly depicts the familiar tale of a shaken East Coast community through a coming-of-age lens. Bee, whose proximity to the Bakers thrusts her into new-found popularity, navigates the treacherous waters of middle school with self-esteem issues, anxiety, and feelings for Sally's older brother. Meanwhile, she struggles to escape the shadow of Audrina, who is effortlessly captivating and attracts the attention Bee has always craved. But a devastating revelation tests the sisters' ever-complicated yet unbreakable bond once again. A story of sisterhood and the haunting nature of loss for readers of Celeste Ng and Kristen Bird.
