But when his father’s job threatens to uproot everything, and a student design competition places Eli in the spotlight, the things he once held steady begin to fracture. Jackson Calder is planning something big—a surprise for their one-year anniversary—but even love isn’t simple when silence grows between texts and the future feels too fragile to name. As their friends rally to rebuild the school’s forgotten solarium, new bonds form, old wounds open, and the line between what’s safe and what’s brave begins to blur. A Growth Through Glass and Steel is a heart-quiet YA novel about art, architecture, and holding on when everything wants to pull you apart. For readers of Nina LaCour, Benjamin Alire Sáenz, and Adam Silvera.
