In this riveting novel, two boys discover the true meaning of family and the sacrifices it requires.
Two-time Newbery Honor winner Gary D. Schmidt delivers the shattering story of Joseph, a father at thirteen, who has never seen his daughter, Jupiter.
After spending time in a juvenile facility, he's placed with a foster family on a farm in rural Maine. Here Joseph, damaged and withdrawn, meets twelve-year-old Jack, who narrates this emotional coming of age story of the troubled, passionate teen who wants to find his baby at any cost.
When Jack meets his new foster brother, he knows three things about him:
- Joseph almost killed a teacher.
- He was incarcerated at a place called Stone Mountain.
- He has a daughter. Her name is Jupiter. And he has never seen her.
What Jack doesn't know, at first, is how desperate Joseph is to find his baby girl. Or how urgently he, Jack, will want to help.
But the past can't be shaken off. Even as the bonds of their new brotherhood form, old wounds reopen. The search for Jupiter demands more from Jack than he can imagine.
This tender, heartbreaking novel about found family and sacrifice is Gary D. Schmidt at his best. He is the author of the Printz Honor and Newbery Honor Book Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy; Okay for Now, a National Book Award finalist; and The Wednesday Wars, a Newbery Honor Book, among his many acclaimed novels for young readers.

Impactful Novel
”I had his back and he had mine that’s what greater love is” This book left such an impact on me. Sometimes out of nowhere I just think "Argh, orbiting Jupiter". The story of Jack and Joseph is so sad and devastating yet so inspiring and it tells a lot about friendship and finding family. Though the book is so short (just about 200 pages) it´s of high quality and captivates the reader. I also seldom cry reading a book, it’s often just tears forming in my eyes, but this book really did it for me. -

And she glowed with light like the brightest planet in the darkest sky
This is a touching tale that is also incredibly depressing. It tells the story of Joseph, a troubled child who can't keep his daughter but who loves her unconditionally. Additionally, it concerns genuine friendship between him and his foster brother. And it's about locating a place to call home. I really enjoyed every second of reading this one.
