Ongecorrigeerd leesexemplaar van IK GEEF JE DE ZON, dat in maart bij Blossom Books verschijnt. Jude en haar tweelingbroer Noah zijn op hun 13e onafscheidelijk, ondanks hun uiteenlopende karakters. Noah is introvert, tekent de hele dag en is in stilte verliefd op de buurjongen, terwijl Jude van de rotsen in zee springt, knalrode lippenstift draagt en genoeg praat voor hen allebei. Maar na een tragische gebeurtenis groeien Noah en Jude steeds meer uit elkaar. Drie jaar later spreken ze elkaar amper nog en lijkt hun band onherstelbaar beschadigd. Dan ontmoet Jude een eigenwijze, vreemde maar knappe jongen, die haar voorstelt aan iemand die haar hele leven (en dat van Noah) opnieuw omgooit. Het verhaal waarin de tweeling dertien is wordt door Noah verteld. De jaren daarna door Jude. Wat Noah en Jude zich niet realiseren is dat ze allebei maar de helft van het verhaal hebben, en dat hun wereld pas weer compleet zal zijn als ze elkaar terug weten te vinden.

I'll give you the sun is a story of first love, family, loss, and betrayal told from different points in time, and in separate voices, by artists Jude and her twin brother Noah. Jude and her twin brother, Noah, are incredibly close. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude cliff-dives and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them. But three years later, Jude and Noah are barely speaking. Something has happened to wreck the twins in different and dramatic ways ... until Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy, as well as someone else--an even more unpredictable new force in her life. The early years are Noah's story to tell. The later years are Jude's. What the twins don't realize is that they each have only half the story, and if they could just find their way back to one another, they'd have a chance to remake their world. The sky is everywhere is the story of a young girl's awakening to her own potential after the sudden death of her fiery, talented older sister, Bailey. From no experience of boys, Lennie finds herself trying to balance two. Toby, who had been Bailey's boyfriend is struggling with the grief that Lennie is feeling too. Joe is just the new boy in town.
