  This is a truth about growing up. 
   
  Once in your life, sometime after your first memory but before you can drive a car, something is going to happen to you that doesn’t happen to anyone else you know. It might be something good. It might be something bad, or special, or funny, or shocking. 
   
  For Millie, it’s something really sad. Lolo, her neighbors’ infant daughter, dies—unexpectedly, suddenly, inexplicably—on the night Millie babysits. 
   
  There’s nothing she could have done. There’s nothing she can do now. So how does she go on?  
   
  She does what you’ll do. She finds her way. 
   
  This poignant and profound coming-of-age story portrays a tragic experience of responsibility and its poisonous flip side: guilt. Cathartic and important, it’s an honest and empathetic portrait of a girl at her most vulnerable—a mess of grief,  
  love, and ultimately, acceptance—who must reckon with those most difficult of demons: death … and life.

  Thea gets a chance to begin anew at Pacific Academy. There, she’s a star athlete, someone with friends and popularity.  
  But disaster strikes at Junior Stunt Warrior summer camp with her new friends: Her extremely uncool former best friend, Evan, shows up too, and she discovers that stunt class is the one activity she’s not good at.
