Welcome to Litsy!

This was good. Listened to the audio. I seem to keep landing on books for juveniles (this one) and adults with mentally ill motherhood as a focus. I think maybe I need a break from the theme. Well done nonetheless.

Listening and cooking. Anyone else doing the late night prep thing?

“Do you think Isaac Newton would be proud or alarmed that his famous laws have been turned into a hashtag?“

An emotionally-charged story about the science of hope, love, and miracles! Natalie's uplifting story of using the scientific method to “save“ her mother from depression.
“A scientist never apologizes for asking questions. Questions keep us alive.”

My husband patted me on the leg as I was finishing this last night because I was crying, the full on snot-dripping kind of crying. Such a good story, full of friendship and shenanigans and heart and family! 💙🥚💙

Birthday gift cards were burning a hole in my wallet!

Natalie's mom has been sleeping in her dark room for months and Natalie doesn't want to talk about it. When her science teacher mentions an egg drop competition, she realizes could use the prize money to take her mother to see the Cobalt Blue Orchids and make her happy again.
A story about depression, family, friendships, biracial identity, and of course, egg drops, The Science of Breakable Things is a strong MG with equal parts realism and hope.
