A Soft Place to Land by Janae Marks

5.0

Excuse me, why haven't I heard any of you talking about this book yet? Janae Marks, the brilliant author of From the Desk of Zoe Washington, brings another wonderful middle grade novel about life, change, coming of age, etc. This book was so great! The audio was really well done.

Small setup with no spoilers: Joy's family moved to an apartment building when her family can no longer afford their home after her father lost his job. She loses her piano lessons, and now has to share a room with her little sister. She meets Nora, who becomes a fast friend, and along with a group of kids in the building, Joy creates a new, soft place to land in this unfamiliar world.
