In that way, the title speaks to the themes in the story on multiple levels, which is what I enjoy. Every Missing Piece is about a girl who’s trying to solve the mystery of a missing child while piecing her own life back together after some big changes.
Sometimes I’m not right and I have to change the title, but in the end, the title needs to connect with the story both literally and thematically for me to be happy with it. Other times, there’s a theme I want to infuse into the scenes. Sometimes it’s just a word I want to explore. Newbery-winning Rules meets Counting by 7s in this affecting story of a girl’s devotion to her brother and what it means to be home When eleven-year-old Thyme Owens’ little brother, Val, is accepted into a new cancer drug trial, it’s just the second chance that he needs. That’s how central titles are to my work. The original title for Every Missing Piece was All the Missing Pieces…we had to change the title because it was too similar to another book coming out in the same season, but even though that was a relatively small change, it took me a while to wrap my brain around it. Therefore, her family had to go to New York for his drug trails. Thyme Owens moves across the country with her family so her younger brother can take. In Melanie Conklins debut novel, Counting Thyme, she shares the story of middle school student and middle sister Thyme Owens. Melanie Conklin wrote a compassionate book about a girls brother who has cancer. Her debut middle grade novel, Counting Thyme. I tend to settle on a title very early on in drafting, in fact well before I begin to draft at all. Part one I you like great moving stories, then Counting Thyme is your book. Melanie Conklin grew up in North Carolina and worked as a product designer before she began her writing career. I’m a fan of titles that have thematic relevance.
