{"product_id":"maxine-9781550814026","title":"Maxine","description":"Imagine a new life. Maxine Carter suddenly finds herself searching for a fresh start--a way around her own gnawing fear of an untimely death and a wasted life. What she discovers is her neighbour's nine-year-old son, Kyle. As Maxine becomes the boy's constant companion and as Kyle deals with his parents' increasing absence and with life as an outsider in a new city, he slowly manages to reinvent Maxine's real and imaginative life. Smart, funny, and poignant, Claire Wilkshire's impressive debut is a novel about overcoming personal fears in a world wracked by private loss and public anxiety, and about finding friendship in the most unlikely places.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Breakwater Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550814026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2013 pg. 29\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Claire Wilkshire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45096903508149,"sku":"9781550814026","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_bb633888-1241-4938-803d-8b33697072db.jpg?v=1739282669","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/maxine-9781550814026","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
