(1) 4-6 Twelve-year-old "amateur creative astronomer" Liberty Johansen thinks of her parents' separation as their family's "free fall from space." Then a meteorite does fall from space and begins communicating with her. The meteorite offers comfort, as Liberty worries about her younger sister, her own mental health, and the whole boy-girl thing. King (Me and Marvin Gardens; Dig.) is keenly attuned to her characters' humanity; her narrative voice and just-this-side-of-realism setting uniquely her own.
