Orbiting Jupiter by Gary D. Schmidt

3.0

I had to read this for English Language Arts this year, I’m not sure if it’s because I hate ELA and/or my teacher, or that it took place in my home state of Maine, or if I thought it was too slow, or not fictional and action enough to keep my puny-8th-grader-Jojo’s-Bizarre-Adventure-and-Percy-Jackson-obsessed-mind entertained, but I found it boring and a struggle to read. Though it’s not for me, I might be able to see why someone, like my classmate could enjoy it. Despite not liking it, the ending made me tear up.
