Juvenile Fiction. Juvenile Literature. HTML:

From critically acclaimed author Paul Mosier, a Publishers Weekly Flying Start, comes a stunning story about the beauty of family, the power of community, and ultimately the strength of the human spirit.

Twelve-year-old El has planned on making her first week at a new school fantastic. She won't go by her given name, Laughter. She'll sit in the back of the classroom where she can make new friends. She won't even have time to think about all the fun her old friends are having without her. Everything will be great.

But when her dad picks her up after school and tells her that her younger sister, Echo, has a life-threatening illness, her world is suddenly turned upside down. And with her parents now pressed for time and money, El feels lost and powerless.

Then she befriends Octavius, the only other kid in school who gets what she's going through. As El begins to adjust to her new life, she soon finds that maybe a little hope and a lot of love can overcome any obstacle.

This reminded me of See You at Harry's by Jo Knowles. No one really wants to think about little kids dying, but of course it happens. People write heartbreaking books about it. I read those books even though I know I will be sad for days. The world of childhood cancer is not a fun world to dive into. But dive I did. I read this whole book on an airplane with my daughter sitting next to me happily absorbed in Frozen while I clutched her little hand and sobbed.

Reading literary fiction breeds empathy. (This is science: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/novel-finding-reading-literary-fictio... A kid may pick up this book and discover a newfound gratitude for their siblings. They may find themselves reaching out to a classmate who seems sad. Or donating to a good cause. They may find strength to help them through their own sadness or struggle.

So while books like this can be hard to read, they are important and they should have a place in the reading lives of children (and grown-ups). ( )

This story starts with El's first day at a new school which unfortunately is also the day her little sister is diagnosed with a rare & serious form of cancer. The story then follows her as she walks through navigating these new worlds. Friends & Allies come from many places & that is the true joy of the book. Its very well done. ( )

This book was so difficult for me to read. I had to fight back tears through more than half of it. The thought and care put into this writing was amazing and I can't give it enough praise. I was 12 years old, a month into 7th grade at a new school the first time my little brother went to the hospital. He didn't have cancer but he had a very rare disease that took him from us 8 months after his first hospital visit. I couldn't help but feel the raw emotions, insecurities and fears that El was feeling. I was, and 17 years later still am, referred to as Danny's sister. ( )
