The new middle-grade novel from the acclaimed YA author known as A.S. King, The Year We Fell from Space is a delightfully moving story of twelve-year-old budding astronomer Liberty as she makes sense of her life through the stars. Liberty Johansen is going to change the way we look at the night sky. Most people see the old constellations, the things they've been told to see. But Liberty sees new patterns, pictures and possibilities. She's an exception. Some other exceptions- Her dad, who gave her the stars. Who moved out months ago and hasn't talked to her since. Her mom, who's happier since he left, even though everyone thinks she should be sad and lonely. And her sister, who won't leave their house. Liberty feels like her whole world is falling from space. Can she map a new life for herself and her family before they spin too far out of reach?

Reviews for The Year We Fell From Space

'King capably tackles the complexities of divorce and depression in this multifaceted novel.' * Publishers Weekly * 'A.S. King...is at her peak as a writer. She has a number of successful titles under belt and Dig is at the pinnacle. The questions it asks are deep and important and her writing style is challenging and innovative...This is truly a special novel.' * Magpies on Dig * 'Maybe there are writers more adept than King at capturing the outrageous and outraged voice of teenagers, but it's difficult to think of one.' * New York Times on Dig * 'One of the best YA writers working today.' * John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars *
