The Floor of the Sky by Pamela Carter Joern
I finished this quick read almost a week ago and still haven’t found a moment to write about it.
I picked it up because I liked the cover, and it was recommended in the same clump of books as one of my favorites, The Whistling Season. The setting appealed to me as well: Nebraska farmland.
Sixteen year old Lila finds herself pregnant and comes to stay with her grandmother, Toby, on her farm for the summer. There are a lot of unspoken family secrets that come to the surface over the course of the summer. Some that heal, some that harm, all of them needing to be said.
It’s an easy read, and was an Alex award winner so it is appropriate for and appeals to teens. Perfect for summer time reading.
