Description
The search for a missing baby drives this heart-pounding page turner, from Edgar Award Winner Susan Shreve (Lucy Forever and Miss Rosetree, Shrinks).It was just a few minutes. Stuck in a hotel room babysitting while the rest of her family celebrated downstairs in the hotel, Jess thought she'd try on her sister's wedding dress in the large bathroom while the baby slept. But when Jess opens the door again the baby is gone. Fighting guilt and terror, Jess and her kleptomaniac sister Teddy evade the swirl of police and hotel staff in their own desperate effort to get Baby Ruby back before it's too late.

Reviews
Praise for The Lovely ShoesThe delicious Italian dream-come-true is just plausible, while the conclusion, with Franny figuring out how to get her feet on the ground in her own sensible way, is just right. -- Horn BookSince this is Susan Shreve, master of subtle and wise perception, she's not simply offering a story of a girl who finally gets pretty shoes; Franny's exploration of what, for her, is possible and what is actually desirable is a trajectory of maturation. -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's BooksPraise for BlisterAn ALA Notable BookWith a tightly woven plot and entirely convincing characters, Shreve again proves herself an inspired and inspiring storyteller. -- Publishers Weekly, starred reviewThis perceptively written novel with memorable characters gets right to the bone. -- Booklist, boxed review
