This is so beautiful.
I love A.S Kings writing, one thing I will say for her middle grade is the story is a little more linear than her YA stuff making it a lot easier to follow for a younger reader but still maintaining that quirky, elaborate, off center writing style that I love from her.

An Excellent read!
Somehow, this book remains lighthearted and heartwarming while it bravely addresses heavy topics like depression, divorce, and loneliness.
I picked it up from the library for my ten-year-old kiddo because it was on a recommended books list. She loved it and insisted more people read it, so she passed it on to my mother, who also loved it and returned it for me to take a turn. I’m glad I did.

This is a beautiful exploration of divorce and depression that's perfect for middle grade readers and older. There's so much truth in here that I identified with.

If I would have had this as a middle grader it probably would have helped figuring out a life with a mother with depression & an absent father.
Really lovely

Another MG book from Amy Sarig King that blends a lonely/unhappy child with something somewhat magical. Instead of an environmental crisis (as in Me and Marvin Gardens) we have astronomy and the creation of new constellations by Liberty. She's obsessed with stars and finds a meteorite that she begins talking to (yes, it answers back) partly in response to the stress she's feeling at home. There's a lot here about divorce and depression as well, and I wish the information and resources about that had been in the front, not back, of the book. As always, King's deft touch will resonate with readers who may either be dealing with similar issues or know those who are.
