Johanna Kelly's Book Review

Walking On Glass

By Alma Fullerton

**** stars

Your mother tried to kill herself. Now she’s in a coma. If you had come home five minutes later it would have saved you and your father from so much heartache. Now, you need to cope with the pain and make some changes. This all happens to a teenage boy in Walking On Glass.


This is a free verse novel that is about 130 pages long; it can be read in less than an hour. This novel is stripped down to just the story—it’s not heavily detailed, but it is deep and tear-jerking. We see true love from a son to a mother, and how hard it is to cope with loss.
