Until the Ocean Freezes (Lizzy)

By Alida Durham Clemans

Being almost twelve is tough enough. For sensitive redhead and aspiring artist Eliza "Lizzy" Zander, two things make the summer before sixth grade even more challenging: her family moves away from the only home she has ever known and her father's multiple sclerosis gets worse. As Lizzy tries to settle into an unfamiliar city where her mother has landed a new job, she copes with feelings of fear, anger, and loneliness until her mother signs her up for swim lessons at the Y. There, she meets Cassandra, an exuberant girl with no shortage of confidence or mystery. With the help of this captivating new friend and an awkward boy named Walt, Lizzy begins to figure out who she is and the true meaning of "normal." But when her dad's health takes a sudden downturn, bringing even more big changes for Lizzy, she'll need both her family and new friendships to help her figure out where in this crazy world she belongs.
