Winner of the 2016 Governor General's Literary Award for Young People's Literature — TextIn the town of Leamington, Ontario, a…
seventeen-year-old boy is suddenly stricken by a schizophrenic episode and wakes up in hospital. The boy’s name is Calvin, and he is plagued by hallucinations.As the hallucinations persist, Calvin comes to believe that the answer lies in performing one grand and incredible gesture.And so he decides to walk across Lake Erie. In January. The temperatures have been below freezing for weeks. The ice should hold…The lake, it turns out, is more marvelous, and more treacherous, than Calvin had ever imagined — populated by abandoned cars (joy ride!), ice-fishing eccentrics, psychokiller snow beings, and a not-so-mythical sea witch named Jenny Greenteeth.Not to mention the man-eating tiger that looms just out of his sight lines as he treks.But the biggest surprise of all is that Calvin finds himself accompanied by Susie, the girl of his dreams. Or is it his dreams that have conjured up Susie?Part romance, part adventure story, part quest novel, Martine Leavitt brings her inimitable gentle wit, humor and compassion to a story about a teenaged boy struggling to gain control of his own mind and destiny.By Dianne Touchell. 2015
Rose and Michael are good students with bright futures. They are also in love. But when Rose gets pregnant, her…
behavior becomes increasingly strange as she pulls away from her best friend, and from Michael, while she struggles to cope with her predicament.Rose cannot admit that she is pregnant (“If I say it, it will come to be true.”). She moves from denial to ineptly trying to terminate her pregnancy, to believing that she has miscarried, while deep inside, she is on a mental and emotional downward spiral. Meanwhile, Michael, in his confusion, desperation to help and fear of the wrath of his controlling father, sinks into his own kind of small madness.Inspired by the story of two teens in the US who were arrested for hiding the girl’s pregnancy and later disposing of the baby, Touchell says, “When I saw them on TV I was amazed to see they looked like normal kids. They were from good families; they just looked destroyed… . I thought, there’s more than one victim here; what went on with these kids and why did they think they had no one to go to?”This is a moving and powerfully written novel told from the alternating viewpoints of Rose and Michael with compassion and a gentle touch. It is an honest, unflinching look at the complex world of young readers.By Janelle Brown. 2020
