Finding Orion

3 posts | 3 read | 5 to read

Rion Kwirk comes from a rather odd family. His mother named him and his sisters after her favorite constellations, and his father makes funky-flavored jelly beans for a living. One sister acts as if she’s always onstage and the other is a walking dictionary. But no one in the family is more odd than Rion’s grandfather, Papa Kwirk. He’s the kind of guy who shows up on his motorcycle only on holidays, handing out crossbows and stuffed squirrels as presents. Rion has always been fascinated by Papa Kwirk, especially since his son—Rion’s father—is the complete opposite. Where Dad is predictable, nerdy, and reassuringly boring, Papa Kwirk is mysterious, dangerous, and cool.
Which is why, when Rion and his family learn of Papa Kwirk’s death and pile into the car to attend his funeral and pay their respects, Rion can’t help but feel that that’s not the end of his story. That there’s so much more to Papa Kwirk to discover.
He doesn’t know how right he is.

Just because you CAN make a piece of candy taste like something doesn't mean you should.

I would put this book in an older elementary library. This doesn't need to be read out loud to the entire class, but it is an interesting start and can keep children intrigued in its storyline.

so-so

Although this book is very bizarre, a lot of children can connect with it. From the beginning, Rion Kwirk explains how left out she feels in her family and how weird she thinks they are. The main character is convincing and credible to today's child as Rion is constantly complains about everything and anything. The author does a really good job allowing children to connect to this book by being different than your family.
