A family’s fresh start in Claymore

Juliet and her twin brother, Quentin, begin their final year of elementary school after moving with their mother from a big city to the small town of Claymore. Their adjustment brings several strands together: a secret their mother carries, new friendships, questions of speaking up for a friend, and the twins’ competitive dance team. The description also points to a challenge around fitting in at their new school, especially for Quentin. Family change and sibling experience sit at the heart of this young adult story, alongside the uncertainties of starting over in an unfamiliar community.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens interested in stories about siblings and family change
  • Readers drawn to school transitions, new friendships, and fitting in
  • Young readers who enjoy dance-team competition as part of a contemporary story
