Charlie is fifteen years old and misses her father, especially since her mother’s new boyfriend came onto the scene. And as if that weren’t enough, her best friend has just kissed the boy she has a crush on. For a while now, it feels like there’s been a glass wall between Charlie and the world. Then, Pommes shows up, his real name is Kornelius — and he turns that glass wall into a car window that can be rolled down, so that Charlie can finally stretch her hand up toward the sky again.
