About Orbiting Jupiter by Gary D. Schmidt
When Jack meets his new foster brother, Joseph, he knows Joseph has been incarcerated at Stone Mountain, nearly killed a teacher, and has a daughter named Jupiter whom he has never seen. What Jack does not yet understand is how urgently Joseph wants to find her—or how much he will come to care about helping him.
Published in 2015 by Clarion Books, this young adult contemporary novel follows the brothers’ growing bond as the search brings old wounds back into view. Its focus on foster family, parenthood, friendship, and coming of age may appeal to readers looking for realistic fiction about young people facing difficult family circumstances.
