Finding Jupiter

Jack is twelve, and his parents are about to take in a fourteen-year-old teenager. Joseph seems to be a perfectly ordinary eighth-grader: a little below average in height, a little below average in weight, and everything else is average. The only thing is, he comes to a new family from places where no one willingly ends up. And, most importantly, he has a daughter. Gary Schmidt's new book is about how a loving family transforms a person, how true friendship is born, and how important it is for everyone to have someone who is ready to protect them.
