The Care and Feeding of a Pet Black Hole

202 pp. | Dial | September, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-53913-8 $16.99
(3) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Stella is coping with her father's death when a black hole follows her home from a trip to NASA and eats everything in its path, including the family dog and Stella's memories. Cuevas delicately balances wild sci-fi with tremendous respect for her grieving heroine; illustrations and design choices (black pages with white text denote action inside the black hole) enhance the imaginative story.
