Months after her father's death from complications from AIDS, her mother has stopped cooking and refuses to leave the house, instead locking herself away to scour at the germs she believes are everywhere. June Bug threatens this precarious existence by going out into the neighborhood, gradually befriending an imaginative boy who is living with his Nana Jean after experiencing troubles of his own. But as June Bug's connection to the world grows stronger, her mother's grows more distant - even dangerous - pushing June Bug to choose between truth and healing and the only home she has ever known. Trowbridge Road paints an unwavering portrait of a girl and her family touched by mental illness and grief. Set in the Boston suburbs during the first years of the AIDS epidemic, the novel explores how a seemingly perfect neighborhood can contain restless ghosts and unspoken secrets. Written with deep insight and subtle lyricism by acclaimed author Marcella Pixley, Trowbridge Road demonstrates our power to rescue one another even when our hearts are broken"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 10 up $b Thorndike Press 521 $a Grades 4-6 $b Thorndike Press 650 $a Fathers $x Death $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Child abuse $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Bullies and bullying $v Juvenile fiction. 655 $a Large print books for youth 650 $a Friendship $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Grief $v Juvenile fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20210413010352.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=93B6ED589C1D11EB89538EB42CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
