The Year We Fell from Space by Amy Sarig King
4.0
The Year We Fell From Space is a well-written, moving middle grade novel about divorce and mental health. Specifically, this is the story of children stuck in the middle of their parents' divorce and how they are affecting by this separation.
Liberty's character is realistic and genuine yet quite infuriating, at times. But it's understandable as she is experiencing a bad thing, which is the divorce of her parents.
She's acting irrational as a way to cope and process all of these things and it's apparent when you read the book, how she is hurt, confused and trying her best to understand what she needs to understand. It's contagious.
It's a pity what Lib is experiencing but it is also commendable how she is overcoming herself to be matured enough to discern the things along the way to acceptance.
The Year We Fell From Space is a great book. And it becomes greater because of the magical realism infused to this book, which is interesting and amplify the importance of why this book was written.
