A first look at our latest book club pick: The Paper Girl of Paris x jordynhtaylor ⤵️
Can we take a moment to talk about that ending? A book hasn’t made me openly cry for a while now and the ending blew me away. What was it like when you were writing that particular scene and why end it this way?You and me both! As I was writing the ending, I unexpectedly burst into tears at my writing desk in the corner of the living room.
With trembling fingers, I take out the key. It fits into the hole and turns with a satisfying click, and I gently push open the door. “We can stay here while you go look around,” says Dad, taking Mom by the hand. Mom doesn’t object to this plan, so the only thing left for me to do is press deeper into the darkness.After feeling my way through an archway, I bang my knee into something sturdy. A table. Carefully, I feel my way around it, until a thin strip of light tells me I’ve made it to a window.
Careful not to disturb the carpet of dust on every surface, I tiptoe from room to room, wishing my eyes could look in ten different directions at once. My parents are moving at a fraction of the pace, still peering around the foyer. I explore the kitchen and a small square room with a desk and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.
I’m mulling over dozens of new questions when I notice the girl. In the photo from the picnic, she’s lying on her stomach and flipping through a book. In the one by the school, she’s posing next to Gram in a matching outfit. She doesn’t look familiar to me, but she has dark eyes and dark curls just like mine, only she’s much more beautiful. It’s an objective fact.

The instructions were sneakily simple from lead judge Clover Hope: “Recreate a kids’ craft project” called Trash to Treasure.
