JUST UNDER THE CLOUDS - MELISSA SARNO KARTONIER...

Can you still have a home if you don't have a house? In the spirit of The Truth About Jellyfish
and Fish in a Tree comes a stunning debut about a family struggling to find something lasting
when everything feels so fleeting. Always think in threes and you'll never fall  Cora's father
told her when she was a little girl. Two feet  one hand. Two hands  one foot. That was all Cora
needed to know to climb the trees of Brooklyn. But now Cora is a middle schooler  a big sister
and homeless. Her mother is trying to hold the family together after her father's death  and
Cora must look after her sister  Adare  who's just different  their mother insists. Quick to
smile  Adare hates wearing shoes  rarely speaks  and appears untroubled by the question Cora
can't help but ask: How will she find a place to call home? After their room at the shelter is
ransacked  Cora's mother looks to an old friend for help  and Cora finally finds what she has
been looking for: Ailanthus altissima  the tree of heaven  which can grow in even the worst
conditions. It sets her on a path to discover a deeper truth about where she really belongs.
Just Under the Clouds will take root in your heart and blossom long after you've turned the
last page. [A] heartbreaking yet hopeful story of a family searching for a place to belong.
--Publishers Weekly [A] thought provoking debut about the meaning of home and the importance of
family.--Horn Book Magazine
