Still a Work in Progress
of Jo Knowles (Goodreads Author)
Description
In a return to middle-grade fiction, master of perspectives Jo Knowles depicts a younger sibling struggling to maintain his everyday life while coping with his sisterâs secret struggle.Noah is just trying to make it through seventh grade. The girls are confusing, the homework is boring, and even his friends are starting to bug him. Not to mention that his older sister, Emma, has been acting pretty strange, even though Noah thought sheâd been doing better ever since the Thing They Donât Talk About. The only place he really feels at peace is in art class, with a block of clay in his hands. As it becomes clear through Emmaâs ever-stricter food rules and regulations that sheâs not really doing better at all, the normal seventh-grade year Noah was hoping for begins to seem pretty unattainable. In an affecting and realistic novel with bright spots of humor, Jo Knowles captures the complexities of navigating middle school while feeling helpless in the face of a family crisis.
