Why read it?
2 authors picked The Probability Of Everything as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love middle grade novels and this one is moving and incredibly unique. Eleven year old Kemi is dealing with a grief so huge, she creates another world--one that's ending--and makes it so credible and vivid, we live that pending loss with her. I was drawn in and mystified and I can't stop marveling at Sarah Everett's brilliant handling of heartbreak and grief through her narrator's wild imagination and the resilience Kemi doesn't even know she has.
The premise of The Probability of Everything is that an asteroid will destroy the Earth in a matter of days, and eleven-year-old Kemi Carter decides to make a time capsule.
She hopes someday, aliens will find it so that her family will never be forgotten.
This novel appealed to me because, with the pandemic and subsequent quarantine, it indeed seemed like the end of the world as we knew it. My favorite part of this book is the ending. I guarantee you won’t see it coming!
