The Messy Life of Blue

Since her mother passed away, eleven-year-old Beulah "Blue" Warren has spent every waking moment surrounded by boys: her three brothers, her father, her best friend, even the family dog. Being the only girl in the family can be tough, but Blue makes the best of it among the water balloon fights, spooky sleepovers, and a never-ending prank war.

But between the fun and games, she struggles to remember her mom. Blue will do anything to get closer to her mother's memory. She writes a list of her mom's favorite things and sets out to experience them, making unexpected, life-changing connections along the way.

Funny and heartwarming, this debut novel is a touching tale about grief and the healing power of family.
