Items related to Jane In Bloom
Jane?s big sister, Lizzie, has always been the center of attention. No one ever pays attention to boring, plain Jane. But when Jane?s twelfth birthday marks the beginning of Lizzie?s fi nal descent into a fatal eating disorder, Jane discovers that the only thing harder than living in her big sister?s shadow is living without her.
In the wake of tragedy, Jane learns to look through her camera lens and frame life differently, embracing her broken family and understanding that every girl has her season to blossom. Spare and vulnerable prose marks this beautiful debut that is at once heartbreaking and uplifting.

About the Author:
Deborah Lytton is a former actress best known for her work on Days of Our Lives. She lives with her two young daughters in Los Angeles.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 6–8—On Jane's 12th birthday, her older sister is hospitalized, and Jane is swept into a series of painful events that swirl around beautiful, smart, and popular Lizzie, ensnaring the entire family. Her problem manifests itself as an eating disorder but ends with her death, possibly a suicide. Jane's narration reveals how she and her parents handle Lizzie's death, with each of them coming to grips with her actions first individually and with anger, and then together. Jane begins to rebuild her life when she's cared for by an understanding woman when her mother, unable to cope, leaves to visit her parents and her father has a business trip. She gets a puppy, learns to focus through a camera lens, and befriends a boy who has also suffered loss. Characterizations are plausible in this ultimately hope-filled story. Though similar in theme to Laurie Halse Anderson's Wintergirls (Viking, 2009), this book can be appreciated by younger readers as it is thoughtfully revealed from Jane's perspective.—Maria B. Salvadore, formerly at Washington DC Public Library
