Seven days before summer vacation begins, fifty-seven days before her seventeenth birthday, Noelle finds her father's camera on her bed. Her father died seventeen years ago, seven months before she was born. Her mother is still so heart-broken that she is only able to share the details of their life together in bits and pieces, snapshots. An avid photographer, Noelle finds herself rising early, despite it being summer vacation and prime-time to sleep in, to begin exploring her world through this new lens, hoping, as her friend Trevor suggests, that it will help her see pieces of her father as well.

Description
Author Description
Colette began writing when she was seven-years-old and hid a flashlight and steno notebook under her bed. When a Sophomore English teacher told her that she kind of had a knack for this writing thing, Colette was hooked and has been scribbling ever since. She reads entirely too much and does believe that cookies should be a major food group. She has traveled to France, and Monaco, Jordan, Egypt, Israel, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. She lives in rural Indiana where it's not uncommon to get snowed in during the winter and has more gardens than she can keep up with. As a School Librarian, it is her joy, every day, to love kids and books and to help them find each other.
