Light Enough to Float

Schneider Family Book Award Honor Winner

“Skillfully crafted . . . A realistically complex yet hopeful account of eating disorder treatment.” —Kirkus Review

“An emotionally complex novel that that will linger in readers’ minds.”—Booklist

“The tone and tempo of this verse novel tracks with Evie’s journey toward healing. Spare, hyper focused, and compulsive at first, the cadence moving with a staccato franticness; as she comes to terms with her diagnosis and treatment, eventually a steadiness—fragile, to be sure—threads through the text. . . . A smart acknowledgment of the effect that social media has on disordered eating.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
