Yelling at Satellites

By Jessica Tornek

A funny, heartfelt debut from a new talent. Perfect for 9+ readers and fans of Adib Khorram's Darius the Great is NOT OK, Benjamin Dean and Erin Entrada Kelly.

Yelling at Satellites is a middle grade, coming-of-age story about identity, friendship, and the courage to be yourself.

Twelve year-old Ethan Adler seems to have it all figured out-he's smart, athletic, and a solid friend. Basically, your average overachiever... with a few quirks, like a head full of superstitions and a bedroom so neat it could be a museum.

But he's got a secret. The kind that could change everything.

When the truth comes out, his world tilts off its axis. His grandfather's angry, his best friend won't talk to him, and-just his luck-a bully from another school won't leave him alone.

As summer carries him from camp in Yosemite to the mountains in Italy, Ethan's learning that life doesn't follow a map...

and neither does figuring out who you are.
