How it feels to float
(Book)

"Sixteen-year-old Biz sees her father every day, though he died when she was seven, but when Biz's almost-normal life turns upside-down and her father disappears again, she tumbles into a disaster-land of grief and depression from which she must find her way back"--,Provided by publisher.

Biz can float. Biz doesn't tell anyone anything. Not about her dark, runaway thoughts, not about kissing Grace or noticing Jasper, the new boy. And she doesn't tell anyone about her dad, who died when she was seven but still sees every day. And Biz knows how to float, right there on the surface-- normal okay regular fine. But after what happens on the beach, the tethers that hold Biz steady come undone. Dad disappears and, with him, all comfort. It might be easier, better, sweeter to float all the way away... or maybe there's a way Biz just can't see yet. -- adapted from jacket
