THE STORY BEHIND THE BOOK
Kaija Langley, author of verse novel ‘The Order of Things,’ has built a writing career in the margins of a busy life
Langley's lyrical and emotionally powerful novel-in-verse is about April, an 11-year-old aspiring drummer, whose best friend Zee, a violin prodigy, dies of sudden cardiac arrest.
