Bloomsbury presents All the Blues in the Sky by Renée Watson, read by Bahni Turpin.
# 1 New York Times bestselling and Newbery Honor author Renée Watson explores friendship, loss, and life with grief in this poignant novel in verse and vignettes.
Sage's thirteenth birthday was supposed to be about movies and treats, staying up late with her best friend and watching the sunrise together. Instead, it was the day her best friend died. Without the person she had to hold her secrets and dream with, Sage is lost. In a counseling group with other girls who have lost someone close to them, she learns that not all losses are the same, and healing isn't predictable. There is sadness, loneliness, anxiety, guilt, pain, love. And even as Sage grieves, new, good things enter her life—and she just may find a way to know that she can feel it all.
In accessible, engaging verse and prose, this is a story of a girl's journey to heal, grow, and forgive herself. To read it is to see how many shades there are in grief, and to know that someone understands.

      Bahni Turpin delivers a heartbreaking performance of this middle-grade story about grief and healing. On Sage's 13th birthday, her best friend is killed in a hit-and-run accident. Doing the best she can to process her trauma, Sage connects with others through group counseling. Turpin's performance treats the material with respect, which listeners will appreciate. The varied emotions of each group member show that grief has stages and involves different connections with different people. Sage's complex thoughts and memories illuminate how certain aspects of death are easier to accept, while other aspects are more difficult. But shining moments of hope break through in this short yet robust performance. G.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine
