Getting Near to BabyAudrey Couloumbis, 1999
Willa Jo and Little Sister are sitting on their aunt's roof, much to the dismay of their aunt and the amusement and shock of the neighbours. It's all been terribly confusing for the two girls, what with Aunt Patty coming to take them away and pushing them into a world of camp shorts and leather sandals. Willa Jo and her sister just can't seem to do anything right.
This is a really sweet and sad story about losing part of yourself and dealing with the reactions of people around you, while still trying to deal with your own feelings. There was a lovely mood throughout the book which would lead me to connect it with Love, Aubrey or Olive's Ocean.
