2020 book 33

Rebecca Stead's The List of Things That Will Not Change
A new book by Stead is always something to look forward to—she’s the author of one of my top five all time favorite books (When You Reach Me), after all. This felt like it was aimed at a slightly younger audience than some of her other books, but it was still a moving and engaging read. It’s narrated by tween Bea, who is delighted that her dad is going to marry his boyfriend—meaning she’s getting a new sister. But Stead doesn’t shy away from complicated feelings and complicated families and sorting out those tangles of emotions. Really solid work from an always outstanding author. A/A-.
