What a gorgeous coming-of-age story steeped in realistic friendships, authentic empathy, and loaded with science!

I often begin my own new projects by getting to know a character that has come to life in mind, in one way or another. What is this character’s voice like? Do they have brothers and sisters? What are they striving for? Do they collect anything? What are they worried about? What sort

Quotes by Gina Linko (?)

“Once you are no longer afraid, once you are no longer prisoner to the what-ifs and the if-onlys, there's a pocket of calm in the middle of the craziness. As if you can see things as they really are instead of just how you wish them to be, or how they could be, if this place - this life - wasn't so messed up, so contrary.”
― Gina Linko, Flutter

“I think some things – great things, awesome things- only come around once in a long while, and you gotta snatch 'em up. Hold them close. 'Cause you won't get anything quite that rare and special again anytime soon.”
