THE SEPTEMBER SISTERS

Book ID/图书代码： 06840008B30119

English Summary/英文概要： Abigail Reed and her younger sister, Becky, are always at each other’s throats. Their mother calls them the September Sisters, because their birthdays are only a day apart, and pretends that they’re best friends. But really, they delight in making each other miserable. Then Becky disappears in the middle of the night, and a torn gold chain with a sapphire heart charm is the only clue to the mystery of her kidnapping. Abby struggles to cope with her own feelings of guilt and loss as she tries to keep her family together. When her world is at its bleakest, Abby meets a new neighbor, Tommy, who is dealing with his own loss, and the two of them discover that love can bloom, even when it’s surrounded by thorns.
This exquisitely written first novel illustrates life as it truly is—filled with fear and danger, hope and love, comfort and uncertainty.

Awards/获奖情况：As for Cantor’s LIFE OF GLASS, coming January 2010 from Harper Teen, Booklist states that the talented Cantor succeeds in painting "a gentle portrait of a girl growing through her grief."
Praise for Cantor’s SEPTEMBER SISTERS:
"The dialogue, clipped and intense, leaves room for readers to recognize their own experiences . . . what will hold readers, along with the suspense of the whodunit, is the honesty of the sibling story." --Booklist
"Abby’s voice . . . rings true, as does the author’s depiction of a family beset by the kind of grief a kidnapping might bring. [The protagonist] is likable, and readers are easily drawn along to follow her progress and to find out what happened to her sister." --School Library Journal
“Touching, beautiful . . . both tragic and sweet, captured perfectly with Cantor’s striking voice.”-BookKids
