Best Books 2014: I’ll Give You the Sun| Young Adult

by SLJ
Nov 14, 2014 | Filed in Reviews+
Talented fraternal twins Jude and Noah are inseparable at age 13 and practically strangers at age 16. In the years that have transpired, a tragic event has torn their family apart, and readers must puzzle through the alternating chapters and time lines to figure out if the siblings’ relationship could ever be made whole again. Filled with lyrical prose, swoon-worthy romance, and threads of magical realism, this luminous coming-of-age novel shines. See our Q&A with Nelson.
