I am reviewing a copy of The Shape of Thunder through Harper Collins Children’s Books:/Balzer + Bray and Netgalley:
Cora hasn’t spoken to her best friend in a year despite the fact they live next door to each other. They are both living in their own worlds of grief, Cora lost her sister in a shooting, and it was Quinn’s brother who was the shooter. Quinn carries great guilt for what her brother did and both misses him and hates him at times.
When Cora turns twelve Quinn leaves a box on her doorstep with a note. She has decided that the only way to fix things is to go back in time to the moment before her brother changed all their lives forever and stop him.
Despite herself Cora wants to believe so the two friends begin working together to open a wormhole in the fabric of the universe. But as they attempt to unravel the mysteries of time travel to save their siblings, they learn that the magic of their friendship may actually be the key to saving themselves.
The Shape of Thunder is a beautifully written and heartfelt story, perfect for Middle grade readers and above:
I give The Shape of Thunder five out of five stars!
