Über diesen Titel
Monty doesn’t believe in miracles. Not since her mom died. But she’s going to need one to bring together the right team and win the All Saints School talent show.
The nuns have promised that the winners will receive grace. This force could fix everything wrong in Monty’s life—from the fact that she keeps getting detention and upsetting her dad, to the worrisome feeling she’s been having in the wake of her mom’s death: a floating that carries her far above her own life and one day might take her away for good.
Monty assembles three classmates to present the work of local poets, but her neighbor Danny’s heart isn’t in it, her crush Leon is a wild card, and her new friend Sandra is living with a chronic illness that keeps getting worse and bringing Monty face to face with difficult memories.
Everything is looking bleak, but Monty’s friends rally around her and awaken the bravery she needs to deliver a shocking poetry performance—and finally say goodbye. In her own way, of course. With broken rules and buckets of grace.
