Specificatii
From the YouTube slam poetry star of Shrinking Women (more than 5
million views ) comes a novel in verse about body image, eating
disorders, self-worth, mothers and daughters, and the psychological
scars we inherit from our parents. Fifteen-year-old Ivy's world is
in flux. Her dad has moved out, her mother is withdrawn, her
brother is off at college, and her best friend, Anna, has grown
distant. Worst of all, Ivy's body won't stop expanding. She's
getting taller and curvier, with no end in sight. Even her beloved
math class offers no clear solution to the imbalanced equation that
has become Ivy's life. Everything feels off-kilter until a skipped
meal leads to a boost in confidence and reminds Ivy that her life
is her own. If Ivy can just limit what she eats--the way her mother
seems to--she can stop herself from growing, focus on the upcoming
math competition, and reclaim control of her life. But when her
disordered eating leads to missed opportunities and a devastating
health scare, Ivy realizes that she must weigh her mother's issues
against her own, and discover what it means to be a part of--and
apart from--her family. This Impossible Light explores the powerful
reality that identity and self-worth must be taught before they are
learned. Perfect for fans of Laurie Halse Anderson and Ellen
Hopkins. Praise for This Impossible Light ★ In an exceptional novel
in verse, slam poet Myers debuts with a powerful commentary on
maternal inheritance and eating disorders....striking use of the
flexibility of free verse...absorbing and evocative. --Publishers
Weekly, starred review Every YA library needs this book. --VOYA
Written in evocative verse, with notes of wonder and despair, the
cadence flows across and down the pages with grace. Lifted beyond
the confines of the problem novel with its lyricism and resonance.
--Kirkus ReviewsThis verse novel's form perfectly mirrors its
content as readers move from poem to poem, from thought to thought,
following Ivy through the false logic that triggers and sustains
her disordered eating--and into the beginning of the much more
difficult steps of grief and recovery. --Horn Book The undeniable
teen appeal makes it a first purchase for any YA collection.
--School Library Journal More than a touching debut, this is a
surefire coping companion, too. --Booklist
