A review by oreosislife
Orbiting Jupiter by Gary D. Schmidt
5.0
“Then I’ll be praying for Joseph Brook. And for you, too, Jack Brook.”
“Hurd. Jackson Hurd,” said my mother.
Pastor Greenleaf looked at me. “The boy isn’t your brother?” he said.
“I have his back,” I said.
Damn! this book- I have tears in my eyes rn. Everyone said that it was going to be emotional and like always I didn't believe them.
It was a very short book with a very good plot and a very good message. In this book we have 14 year old Joseph who's sent to live with 12 year old Jack's parents. Joseph has a daughter named Jupiter whom he loves more than anything even though he haven't seen her except in a photograph which he keeps in his wallet.
This book is all about friendships and how blood relations aren't everything for the other person to have their back. Jack might not be his real brother, Jack's parents might not be his real parents, but they are the closet thing to a family. I loved how the cows were depicted in this book, how they were shown to have emotions and how you don't have to be an animal to understand what they like and what they don't. The people in this book are the reason why faith in humanity still exists.
This might be the best book I've read so far this year so if you are reading this review then trust me, you might love this book.
