Giselle Boyer and her identical twin, Isabelle, are as close as sisters can be, even as their family seems to be unraveling. Then the Boyers have a tragic encounter that will shatter everyone’s world forever. 
 
Giselle wakes up in the hospital, injured and unable to speak or move. Trapped in the prison of her own body, Giselle must revisit her past in order to understand how the people closest to her—her friends, her parents, and above all, Isabelle, her twin—have shaped and defined her. Will she allow her love for her family and friends to lead her to recovery? Or will she remain lost in a spiral of longing and regret? 
 
Untwine is a spellbinding tale, lyrical and filled with love, mystery, humor, and heartbreak. Award-winning author Edwidge Danticat brings her extraordinary talent to this graceful and unflinching examination of the bonds of friendship, romance, family, the horrors of loss, and the strength we must discover in ourselves when all seems hopeless. 
 
“While Danticat fully grounds Giselle in her identity as a Haitian-American teen in Miami, this gentle young artist could speak to any teen anywhere coping with a major loss.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer

    Hazel  had a unique wish: she wanted the sun all to herself. Her love for its 
radiant glow was so immense that she thought it best to keep it within the confines of her own room, nestled in a fishbowl, no less. This way, she could bask in its glorious light at all hours, not just during the day. And how does one fulfil such a grand desire? By stealing it, naturally.
 
But would such a bold act go unnoticed? Could Hazel find herself in trouble for her sun-snatching adventure? Hazel and Her Sun is the enchanting tale of a little girl who daringly captures the sun – if only for a short time. Her journey takes a turn when she realizes that achieving her dream doesn’t bring the joy she expected. This heartwarming story unfolds Hazel’s realization about the true nature of happiness and the importance of sharing beauty with the world.
