About THESE ARE THE FIREWORKS: 

"Sharply plotted, tender, tense, and hilarious. Readers who love Liane Moriarty and Celeste Ng will devour this." - Tom Ryan 

"A twisty, funny, and ultimately warm-hearted mystery" - Elizabeth Renzetti

Nina Fforde believes her parents had the perfect marriage—until her elegant mother shows up at her father's funeral in gleeful red lipstick. 

In the days following, Petra's behaviour only becomes more inappropriate. She smokes, she drinks, she laughs lustily during stolen phone calls. It's her life, the sixty-nine-year-old matron warns her daughters, and she's finally going to live it.
 
Nina's twin sister, Libby, puts Petra's transformation down to a form of 'bereavement mania,' induced by the freak accident that took Malcolm's life. But Nina's older sister, Clary, is more suspicious. She's seen evidence their parents' marriage wasn't as blissful as advertised.
 
Wanting both to protect her mother and do right by her father, Nina begins to investigate. What she finds will change everything she thought she knew about her parents, and throw her own quirky little life into chaos. 

VICKI GRANT'S novels have won the Red Maple Award, the Arthur Ellis Award and CBC's Young Canada Reads, as well as been shortlisted for the Edgar, CLA Children's Book of the Year and numerous Forest of Reading awards. Her novel, 36 Questions That Changed My Mind About You, has been translated into 17 languages and optioned for film. Publishers' Weekly called A Green Velvet Secret, her latest middle-grade mystery, a "winning novel," with "quirky, fully-fleshed characters and a tender first-person narration." Before graduating to kidlit, she worked as an advertising copywriter at Saatchi & Saatchi and Chiat\Day then wrote scripts for numerous pre-school programs including Big Comfy Couch and her own Gemini-winning series Scoop & Doozie. Vicki lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
