The Year We Fell from Space by Amy Sarig King

3.0

Another MG book from Amy Sarig King that blends a lonely/unhappy child with something somewhat magical. Instead of an environmental crisis (as in Me and Marvin Gardens) we have astronomy and the creation of new constellations by Liberty. She's obsessed with stars and finds a meteorite that she begins talking to (yes, it answers back) partly in response to the stress she's feeling at home. There's a lot here about divorce and depression as well, and I wish the information and resources about that had been in the front, not back, of the book. As always, King's deft touch will resonate with readers who may either be dealing with similar issues or know those who are.
