About Jupiter Rising: A grieving foster brother finds strength on the cross-country team while fighting to keep his family together by Gary D. Schmidt
After the death of his foster brother Joseph, Jack is grieving while adjusting to life as the big brother of Joseph’s orphaned daughter, Jupiter. A place on the cross-country team brings him together with Jay Perkins, someone he does not want to work with because of Jay’s history with Joseph.
As Jack grows stronger at running, his relationships with Jay and Jupiter begin to change, and he starts to regain his confidence. But when Jupiter’s grandparents seek custody, Jack’s new sense of stability and his friendships are put under pressure. This contemporary story of grief, family ties, friendship, and coming of age will suit middle-grade and young adult readers interested in realistic family fiction.
