Acerca de esta escucha

An extraordinary new novel from Jasmine Warga, Newbery Honor-winning author of Other Words for Home, about loss and healing - and how friendship can be magical.

Cora hasn’t spoken to her best friend, Quinn, in a year.

Despite living next door to each other, they exist in separate worlds of grief. Cora is still grappling with the death of her beloved sister in a school shooting, and Quinn is carrying the guilt of what her brother did.

On the day of Cora’s 12th birthday, 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.

In spite of herself, Cora wants to believe. And so the two former 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 deeply moving story, told with exceptional grace, about friendship and loss - and how believing in impossible things can help us heal.

Last year Quinn’s brother Parker killed Cora’s sister before killing himself in a school shooting. This year, the next door neighbors and former best friends no longer speak. Quinn hopes to time travel to stop Parker and bring Mabel back.

THE SHAPE OF THUNDER deals with important issues like grief, school violence, racial micro aggressions and siblings though too often these issues aren’t actually addressed as part of the girls’ time travel plans.

In order for THE SHAPE OF THUNDER to work, readers have to buy into the idea that bright twelve year old girls believe they can travel back in time. Cora is on the Quiz Bowl team, is gifted and talented and has a scientific mind. I don’t know if Jasmine Warga has ever met a twelve year old, but their brains have developed to a point where they understand the difference between fantasy and reality. The top age for buying into time travel in a realistic fiction story is probably eight or nine. If the SHAPE OF THUNDER was a fantasy or sci-fi story, that would be different. During the entire reading of the book, I couldn’t get passes that Cora and Quinn wouldn’t believe in time travel.

Cora’s family was The Good Family, nearly flawless. Quinn’s was The Bad Family that never addressed issues or talked. I felt sorry for Quinn and while I understood Cora’s grief, I wished she directed it better, especially with professional help and and a supportive family.

Younger MG readers may enjoy THE SHAPE OF THUNDER, though slow pacing might be a barrier. It’s a well-meaning, but misguided story.

Best for younger MG readers
