Hello Universe
By Erin Entrada Kelly
This book is a Newberry Award winner.
Virgil is misunderstood by his family and Valencia is deaf, clever and stubborn.
This is a coming of age story set in middle school with friendships that are strong, a bully in the middle and a caring Grandmother that understands her grandson.
When Virgil gets himself in trouble, his friends rescue him. How he is able to find his voice is an important lesson for all of us.
We also go on a cultural journey with the friends and learn how they relate within their group and their family.
It’s a great read!
