We Are All Made of Molecules by Susin NielsenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A quick read and worth it! Told from both Steward and Ashley's perspectives, a unique take on what a now modern family looks like.
Stewart's mother died almost 2 years ago and his father has been dating someone and has asked them to move in to her house. Stewart is a gifted boy who is still trying to deal with his mother's death, but is hopeful about the new family he will have...including a sister!
Ashley's mother and father divorced about a year ago and now her mother is dating Stewart's father. They are coming to live them and Ashley is not happy. She is still mad at her father who broke their family up, but announcing he is gay. He now lives in the carriage house behind them and Ashley is mortified. Not only is she going to have to deal with nerdy Stewart, his cat, and father, but also getting used to her dad's new life.
Funny, realistic and at time sad. Each of these characters is unique and seeing them trying to live together is humorous!
Recommended for a YA audience
