From award-winning author McCall Hoyle comes a new young adult novel, Meet the Sky, a story of love, letting go, and the unstoppable power of nature.

It all started with the accident. The one that caused Sophie's dad to walk out of her life. The one that left Sophie's older sister, Meredith, barely able to walk at all.

With nothing but pain in her past, all Sophie wants is to plan for the future—keep the family business running, get accepted to veterinary school, and protect her mom and sister from another disaster. But when a hurricane forms off the coast of North Carolina's Outer Banks and heads right toward their island, Sophie realizes nature is one thing she can't control.

After she gets separated from her family during the evacuation, Sophie finds herself trapped on the island with the last person she'd have chosen—the reckless and wild Finn Sanders, who broke her heart freshman year. As they struggle to find safety, Sophie learns that Finn has suffered his own heartbreak; but instead of playing it safe, Finn's become the kind of guy who goes surfing in the eye of the hurricane. He may be the perfect person to remind Sophie how to embrace life again, but only if their newfound friendship can survive the storm.

Praise for McCall Hoyle's debut novel, The Thing with Feathers:

"Beautiful, touching, and bursting with hope."

Pintip Dunn, award-winning and New York Times bestselling author

"Heartfelt and affecting. Hoyle tells a familiar story, but does so in a voice that is rarely heard, and that makes all the difference."

Leah Thomas, William C. Morris Award finalist and author of Because You'll Never Meet Me and Nowhere Near You

"The inspiring story of one girl's struggle not to be defined by her illness, The Thing with Feathers soars as it explores what it means to live—and love—without fear."

Kathryn Holmes, author of How It Feels to Fly

"A refreshing, quality debut—meaningfully woven and beautifully engaging, from the first page to the last."

      Gr 9 Up-Sophie March's family is immediately and forever changed after a car accident that left her older sister, Meredith, with a brain injury-a tragedy that was too much for her dad to handle. It is now up to independent Sophie and her selfless mom to care for Meredith and run their horse farm on the barrier islands of North Carolina. As if this isn't enough to deal with, old friend and first crush Finn Sanders has moved back to the neighborhood-having forgotten how he ditched Sophie two years prior for their date to the school dance-and a hurricane is looming, making evacuation vital. Mom and Meredith head for the mainland while Sophie is detained by a flat tire. Finn happens by and gives Sophie a lift, but their escape is short-lived when Finn wrecks, leaving them trapped to ride out the storm alone. They find shelter in evacuated homes where they are forced to rely on each other for survival and have nothing but time to learn more about the other's painstaking journeys since they last spoke. Hoyle's beautifully descriptive writing envelops readers, and Sophie's first-person account will ring true with teens who are surrounded by complications and faced with life-changing decisions. VERDICT Recommended where realistic fiction is popular.-Susan Harris, Ridgeway High School, TN
