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. It’s an uplifting tale of grief, courage, and community that she views as “a conversation-starter to help kids and adults navigate the emotional terrain of grief.”
