INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Vanderpool, Clare

Navigating Early

(2) 4-6 Both outsiders in their mid-1940s Maine prep school, Jack and Early are each mourning someone: Jack's mother has died; Early has lost his beloved older brother to the war. While the writing is as minutely observant as it was in the author's Newbery-winning Moon over Manifest, this book has a stronger trajectory, developed when Vanderpool sends the boys on a life-changing quest.
