Williams, award-winning author of Genesis Begins Again\n Judy Blume meets Jacqueline Woodson in this powerful and sweetly emotional coming-of-age story about finding your place in the world, from the author of How High the Moon.\nThis was supposed to be the best year ever for eleven-year-old Stevie Morrison. But instead, her life seems determined to turn itself upside down.\nFirst of all, her parents can't stop fighting - and they decide to move the family to a totally new apartment, in a totally new part of town, which means a totally new middle school for Stevie. On top of that, her best friend, Jennifer, is acting weird. She won't return Stevie's phone calls, and apparently her new best friends are a bunch of mean girls.\nThe final straw comes with the arrival of Stevie's teenage cousin Naomi - sent down in disgrace from Boston (though no one will tell Stevie why). But with Naomi comes an exciting glimpse of a world Stevie hasn't paid much attention to before: one of Cleopatra Jones movies, women's liberation and an intriguing-sounding group called the Black Panthers.\nIt might not be the year Stevie anticipated. But it will be the one that changes her life forever.\nPraise for How High the Moon:\n\"Essential reading, full of voices that must be heard. One of the best stories I've read in a long while\" - Emma Carroll, author of Letters from the Lighthouse\n \"An impressive debut\" - Mail on Sunday","brand":"Penguin Random House Children's UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50323270107424,"sku":"9780241346914","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780241346914.jpg?v=1781136638","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/clouds-over-california-karyn-parsons-9780241346914","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
