Nelson, J. (2014) I'll give you the sun. Dial Books: New York.

2015 Michael L. Printz Award Winner

This story is told in two voices.  The voices are Jude and Noah twins and sister and a brother. In the beginning they are 13 and very close.  Then the story goes foward three years and they are dealing with losing their Mother and an absent Dad.  They are no longer close and both have changed in so many ways.  Noah no longer does art and Jude got accepted into CSA.  Jude starts working with an artist as her mentor Guillermo and meets Oscar.  They always used to argue over who had the trees, sky and the sun.  In the end the truth comes out and everyone finds a happiness of sorts.
