From two-time Newbery Honor and New York Timesbestselling author Kevin Henkes, this timeless novel about loss, loneliness, and friendship tells the story of the spring break that changes seventh-grader Amelia Albrights life forever.Amelia Albright dreams about going to Florida for spring break like everyone else in her class, but her fathera cranky and stubborn English professorhas decided Florida is too much adventure.Now Amelia is stuck at home with him and her babysitter, the beloved Mrs. OBrien. The week ahead promises to be boring, until Amelia meets Casey at her neighborhood art studio. Amelia has never been friends with a boy before, and the experience is both fraught and thrilling. When Casey claims to see the spirit of Amelias mother (who died ten years before), the pair embarks on an altogether different journey in their attempt to find her.Using crisp, lyrical, literary writing and moments of humor and truth, award-winning author Kevin Henkes deftly captures how it feels to be almost thirteen.With themes of family, death, grief, creativity, and loyalty, Sweeping Up the Heart is for readers of Kate DiCamillo, Rebecca Stead, Lauren Wolk, Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, and Pam Muoz Ryan.
