Sarah Crossan Collection - Ages 12 years and up

In the Sarah Crossan Collection, readers are invited to journey alongside Grace and Tippi, two sisters who face the challenges of growing up in a world that often overlooks or misjudges them. This poignant collection comprises four compelling narratives, each tackling themes of identity, acceptance, and the bond of family.

The Plot

Grace and Tippi are conjoined twins, and their unique circumstances create both a deep connection and a series of trials. As they navigate the complexities of adolescence, they encounter the harsh realities of being 'different' in a society quick to judge. Their story unfolds with a mix of heartache and resilience, offering a profound exploration of what it means to belong.

Themes

• Identity: The collection delves into self-discovery and the search for personal identity amidst external perceptions.
• Family Bonds: The relationship between the sisters highlights the strength found in familial love and support.
• Acceptance: It challenges societal norms and encourages readers to embrace differences.

Writing Style

Sarah Crossan's distinctive style combines lyrical prose with emotional depth, making her narratives accessible and impactful. Her use of verse elevates the storytelling, allowing readers to engage with the characters' experiences on a more intimate level.

"Crossan's work is a heartfelt exploration of life’s complexities, leaving readers both challenged and uplifted."

This collection will resonate with readers who have enjoyed other works dealing with themes of identity and belonging, such as Wonder by R.J. Palacio or The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. It promises a reflective and enlightening reading experience for those aged 12 and up.
