A review by retiredlibrarylady
The Science of Breakable Things by Tae Keller

3.0

It was hard for me to get into this book about a middle school girl whose mother has lost her job and is too depressed to come out of her room, while her therapist father is no help with either of them. Her very enthusiastic science teacher and best friend Twig, as well as new friend Dari and an egg drop contest, bring her into a better place. As I read, I really got into the story. Fortuitously, all is well in the end. Character development is quite good, plot ending a bit weak.
