Reviews for The Center of Everything

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a quiet story about feeling lost, wanting things to be okay, and not knowing how to make that happen. It's about the power of friendship, both old and new, and about figuring out what you're "supposed to" be doing and whether "supposed to" even exists. Ruby Pepperdine's on her way to figuring out what questions to ask in this quietly powerful coming-of-age story set in small town New Hampshire. Readalikes:I'd recommend this to kids who liked the more serious subject matter and multiple narrators of Barbara O'Connor's GREETINGS FROM NOWHERE. I'd recommend this to kids who liked Rebecca Stead's WHEN YOU REACH ME for reasons that are spoilery and so will not be mentioned. (Ruby and her friend Nero have read WHEN YOU REACH ME and discuss it in this book!)I'd recommend this to kids who identified with Keeper's search for family in a quirky small town in Kathi Appelt's KEEPER. I'd recommend this to kids who liked reading about the complexities of female friendships in THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF GIRLS or THE KIND OF FRIENDS WE USED TO BE, both by Frances O'Roark Dowell.
