![]() ![]() ![]() These are my favourite kinds of middle-grade stories. But she needs Cora’s help-and scientific mind-to do it. On the day of Cora’s twelfth birthday, Quinn and Cora reunite as Quinn has an idea on how to fix what’s been broken: she is going to go back in time and prevent her brother from getting their father’s gun, setting things right. Quinn doesn’t know how to keep her brother’s past actions from her future while Cora cannot move past what happened because no one in her family really talks about it. Now, Cora’s and Quinn’s friendship seems irreparably broken as they both try to traverse their own landscape of grief, guilt and loss. They haven’t spoken to each other in almost an entire year, after Quinn’s brother Parker initiated a school shooting, killing multiple people, including himself and Cora’s sister Mabel. The Shape of Thunder follows two young girls, Cora and Quinn, who used to be best friends. And The Shape of Thunder was no exception. Warga is known for her expert storytelling and her flowing prose, especially when facing challenging topics. If you haven’t read a book by Jasmine Warga yet, then now is the right time to do so. ![]()
