Yet, the author pulls it off in style, leaving us laughing and crying and very much identifying with Stella. Her grief is so large it becomes a black hole, consuming everything in her life. Rest assured, she finds a way through the grief and back out the other side--and you’ll definitely want to be along for the ride. Normally, I recommend middle grade books for middle grade readers, but I think everyone should read this one. It’s a thoughtful way to begin a conversation about loss and grief with a child or teen. If you have a child, work with children, or have ever been a child, I encourage you to get a copy of the book and read it asap. (  ) amandamreads | Jul 24, 2021 | Instead of making me laugh, this was funny and so sad, and it just got sadder. The way a child like Stella handles her dad being dead is so brutal and close to home. What can you do when all you have is memories? Maybe you'd be better off without them? No, not that either. Stella wants to live in the memory of her father being alive, but sadly she cannot. All she wants is to send her laughter, and her dad's laughter, into space. Where there is a black hole, one full of wonderful wonderful things. Bring tissues. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

HTML:A girl's friendship with a lonely black hole leads her to face her own sadness in this original, funny, and touching middle grade novel for fans of Crenshaw and Flora & Ulysses. When eleven-year-old Stella Rodriguez shows up at NASA to request that her recording be included in Carl Sagan's Golden Record, something unexpected happens: A black hole follows her home, and sets out to live in her house as a pet. The black hole swallows everything he touches, which is challenging to say the leastâ??but also turns out to be a convenient way to get rid of those items that Stella doesn't want around. Soon the ugly sweaters her aunt has made for her all disappear within the black hole, as does the smelly class hamster she's taking care of, and most important, all the reminders of her dead father that are just too painful to have around. It's not until Stella, her younger brother, Cosmo, the family puppy, and even the bathroom tub all get swallowed up by the black hole that Stella comes to realize she has been letting her own grief consume her. And that's not the only thing she realizes as she attempts to get back home. This is an astonishingly original and funny adventure with a great big hea Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
