A parent would reach for this book when their child is experiencing a profound loss or a world-altering tragedy that feels impossible to name. Kemi Carter is an 11-year-old math lover who discovers that an asteroid is 84.7 percent certain to hit Earth in four days. As she builds a time capsule to remember her family, the story reveals a devastating layer of reality that explores how the mind uses fantasy to cope with unbearable grief. It is a deeply moving, sophisticated look at family love, the trauma of sudden loss, and the resilience required to keep living when your entire world has ended. While the prose is accessible for ages 8-12, the emotional weight is significant and best suited for mature readers or shared reading.
