 This Week’s Teen Book:
Lifting
the
Sky
by
Mackie
d'Arge
Blue’s
wandering
mother
has
always
told
her,
“Just
bloom
where
you’re
planted.”
And
it’s
been
a
pretty
good
motto,
considering
how
Mam
never
stays
put
in
one
place
for
very
long.
Then
Mam
gets
hired
as
a
hand
at
a
tumble-down
ranch,
and
for
the
first
time,
Blue
sees
a
place
she
longs
to
call
home
for
good.
There
she
makes
a
friend
in
an
enigmatic
Shoshone
boy
whose
search
for
an
ancient
petroglyph
intrigues
her.
And
it’s
there
that
the
faint
lights
Blue
has
always
been
able
to
see
around
people
begin
to
shine
with
new
energy.
But
Mam
begins
to
show
signs
of
getting
restless
once
again,
and
when
the
father
who
abandoned
Blue
years
ago
suddenly
shows
up
at
the
ranch,
the
family
she
always
thought
she
wanted
may
not
be
the
one
her
heart
is
craving
after
all.
