LONGLISTED: 2026 INDIE BOOK AWARDS, YOUNG ADULT AWARD
Sometimes people fall. It happens. Sometimes people are pushed. Sometimes people jump. And sometimes there''s someone there to catch them.
The summer Beth turns sixteen, she grows. She grows so fast her bones hurt and she feels like throwing up. Everyone - including Etienne, the boy who lives over the road - looks at her differently. Then she starts catching people. People who are falling out of trees or from tall buildings.
Soon Beth discovers that helping strangers sometimes hurts. Sometimes it also hurts or annoys the people she loves. It isn''t great for her school grades, either. Is there a way to balance family and friendship and basketball and romance and ... catching?
An extraordinary story about finding out who you are, and discovering who you want to be.
''Catch is a graceful exploration of what it means to hold others up while trying to find your own balance, and learning to trust yourself, even when the ground is shifting beneath your feet.'' --Karys McEwen, Books+Publishing
