THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK!

A small village on a Jamaican island.

​

A girl who doesn’t remember the previous summer.

​

A best friend who is no longer acting like one; a new girl who fills that hole in her heart.

​

A summer of finding fallen mangos, creating made up games and dancing in the rain.

​

Secrets she keeps from others…and herself.

​

The courage to face the truth even in the toughest of storms.

​

Inspired by the author’s childhood experiences, When Life Give You Mangos is a celebration of island life as well as a rich, lyrical mystery.

​

Read it…and don’t spoil the unforgettable ending!

Kate walked the length of the library car, running her fingertips over the spines of the books. Each bookshelf had a wooden bar along it to keep the books from falling off when the train swayed; you could unlatch it and swing it open to get a book out. It was exactly what she’d imagined, only more so.

​

She skimmed a few titles. It was an incredibly random bunch of books: fat, dignified old hardcovers; big, skinny picture books; cheap paperbacks with spines so worn that you couldn’t read the titles anymore. There were guides to identifying moths in distant parts of the world, and multivolume sets of the complete letters of people with long, unpronounceable names, and romance novels with heroines spilling out of their gowns and heroes busting out of their shirts, and thrillers and horror stories with creepy one-word titles like The Trees and The Leaves, and important grown‑up novels that she mentally reminded herself to skim later for interesting and/or bad words.

​

And every once in a while, like a friendly face in a crowd, there were the kinds of books that Kate liked, which fell into two general categories: books about science and books about ordinary people who find out that magic is real.

“This middle-grade fantasy deftly and compellingly centers Indigenous culture.”—STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews

​

“[T]he treatment of Cree culture resonates, and the engaging characters and folklore ensure readers will look forward to the next installment.” —Publishers Weekly

​

“Reminiscent of C.S. Lewis’s Narnia stories, this fantasy is very much its own tale of ruptured Indigenous culture, of environmental reciprocity and care.” —Toronto Star

A son who grew up away from his Indigenous culture takes his Cree father on a trip to their family's trapline, and finds that revisiting the past not only heals old wounds but creates a new future.
