YA book review: The Sweetness of Salt by Cecilia Galante
Reading level: Young Adult Hardcover: 320 pages Publisher: Bloomsbury USA Children's Books (November 9, 2010) Summary: Julia just graduated as her high school valedictorian, has a full ride to college in the fall and a coveted summer internship clerking for a federal judge. But when her older sister, Sophie, shows up at the graduation determined to reveal some long buried secrets, Julia's carefully constructed plans come to a halt. Instead of the summer she had painstakingly laid out, Julia follows Sophie back to Vermont, where Sophie is opening a bakery—and struggling with some secrets of her own. What follows is a summer of revelations—some heartwarming, some heartbreaking, and all slowly pointing Julia toward a new understanding of both herself and of the sister she never really knew. Our review: There are some books you read by accident. Something about the cover or title grabs you and the next thing you know the book is in your hand. I received The Sweetness of S
