2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
The deeply affecting next book from acclaimed author Amy Sarig King.Liberty Johansen is going to change the way we look at the night sky. Most people see the old constellations, the things they've been told to see. But Liberty sees new patterns, pictures, and possibilities. She's an exception. Some other exceptions: Her dad, who gave her the stars. Who moved out months ago and hasn't talked to her since. Her mom, who's happier since he left, even though everyone thinks she should be sad and lonely. And her sister, who won't go outside their house. Liberty feels like her whole world is falling from space. Can she map a new life for herself and her family before they spin too far out of reach?

The Year We Fell from Space is one of the best middle grade novels I‘ve possibly ever read. Hilarious and heartbreaking, oftentimes within the same sentence, it focuses on some tough issues without ever feeling toned down for its audience. I love Amy Sarig King‘s use of language and metaphor; it is perfectly evocative of its subject matter. The novel never sways into over sentimentalization or watered down cliches. It is a truly beautiful book!

Amy King‘s YA books are some of my favorites (Vera Dietz being my favorite, natch). I missed her first foray into #kidslit, so when I was sent this ARC, I snapped it up. The story is as intense as you‘d expect. Liberty is dealing with both her parents‘ breakup and her fear that she might have depression. A “mirror” story for me, I related to so much of Liberty‘s experience. All this and talking inanimate objects? Sold! #childrensbooks #middlegrade
