National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson brings readers a powerful story that delves deeply into lifeâs burning questions about time and memory and what we take with us into the future.
It seems like Sageâs whole world is on fire the summer before she starts seventh grade. As house after house burns down, her Bushwick neighborhood gets referred to as âThe Matchboxâ in the local newspaper. And while Sage prefers to spend her time shooting hoops with the guys, sheâs also still trying to figure out her place inside the circle of girls sheâs known since childhood. A group that each day, feels further and further away from her. But itâs also the summer of Freddy, a new kid who truly gets Sage. Together, they reckon with the pain of missing the things that get left behind as time moves on, savor whatâs good in the present, and buoy each other up in the face of destruction. And when the future comes, it is Sageâs memories of the past that show her the way forward. Remember Us speaks to the power of both letting go . . . and holding on.
