The Weight of Small Things follows nine-year-old Frankie Appleton, who is obsessed with counting and designing garden gates, a symbol of protection. After her mother’s death, Frankie, living with her grandmother, becomes convinced it wasn't suicide and launches her own investigation. Told through her perspective and those of other key characters in past and present, the novel blends haunting family dynamics, mental illness, and a subtle whodunnit. Reviews “A beautifully written book with a charming, young narrator combined with a surprisingly dark and unusual whodunnit. It's a touching, powerful and twisty read…” — S. J. Harris "An absolute gift of a book … enough emotion to make your heart truly ache, possibly even break, yet also soar with love for nine‑year‑old Frankie." — LoveReading
