(3) 4-6 While her mother is undergoing cancer treatment, eleven-year-old Ella is spending the summer with her kooky paternal grandmother. An obscure seventeenth-century astronomy book, Kepler's Dream of the Moon, weaves together the stories of Ella, her absentee father, and her grandmother as they creep toward understanding one another. Sensitive storytelling and a keen eye for family nuance enhance this debut.
