The Science of Breakable Things | Written by Tae Keller | Published by Yearling (An imprint of Random House Children's Book) 2018
My second book by Tae Keller. I thoroughly enjoyed this one as well!
Natalie's mother is depressed, but Natalie doesn't know. She wonders why her mother is withdrawn and sleeps most of the day away. In hopes of saving her, Natalie joins a science competition with friends because the winning group gets prize money. She believes she can use her share of the money to go see the miraculous Cobalt Blue Orchids with her mother. Natalie desperately believes that's the only way to get her mother back. Beautifully written!
