Publisher Description

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • THE CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY • KIRKUS REVIEWS
 
The spectacular debut novel from the Newbery Award winning author of When You Trap a Tiger. This is an uplifting story about friendship, family, and the complicated science of the heart.

When Natalie’s science teacher suggests that she enter an egg drop competition, she thinks it could be the perfect solution to all of her problems. With the prize money, she can fly her botanist mother to see the miraculous Cobalt Blue Orchids--flowers with the resilience to survive against impossible odds. Her mother has been suffering from depression, and Natalie is positive that the flowers’ magic will inspire her mom to fall in love with life again.
 
But she can’t do it alone. Her friends step up to show her that talking about problems is like taking a plant out of a dark cupboard and exposing it to the sun. With their help, Natalie begins an unforgettable journey to discover the science of hope, love, and miracles.

This book is just…

Amazing, I really like the concept of it and in someway I can relate to it. I love the fact it’s mixed with science because I for one love science so I recommend this book if you’re looking for a book that’s entertaining

A masterpiece

This book is so down to earth and relatable. You really get attached to the characters too. I cant remember he last time I was so excited for a character. It portrays what it’s like to know someone with depression so well. And you’ll leaving the book with a smile on your face (if that makes sense in a way😅☺️)
