β¦ Synopsis
A heartfelt middle grade from Jeanne Zulick Ferruolo about two girls who go on an adventure to the top of a mountain, and learn about each other, themselves, and the magic friendship can bring, perfect for fans of Katherine Applegate and Barbara O'Connor.
What do you do when youβre facing the impossible?
Ever since the day when everything changed, Cal Scottβs answer has been to runβrun from her mother whoβs fighting cancer, run from her father whom she canβt forgive, and run from classmates whoβve never seemed to βgetβ her anyway. The only thing Cal runs toward is nearby Mt. Meteorite, named for the magical meteorite some say crashed there fifty years ago. Cal spends her afternoons plotting to summit the mountain, so she can find the magic she believes will make the impossible possible and heal her mother. But no one has successfully reached its peakβno one whoβs lived to tell about it, anyway.
Then Cal meets Rosine Kanambe, a girl whoβs faced more impossibles than anyone should have to. Rosine has her own secret plan for the mountain and its magic, and convinces Cal they can summit its peak if they work together. As the girls climb high and dig deep to face the mountainβs challenges, Cal learns from Rosine what real courage looks like, and begins to wonder if the magic sheβs been looking for is really the kind she needs.
Each of Us a Universe by Jeanne Zulick Ferruolo is a glowing story of friendship, inner strength, and what happens when the impossible becomes possible.
