The Girl Who Grew a Galaxy — Cherie Dimaline

From award-winning author Cherie Dimaline comes a tale of struggle hope and the kind of magic that can only happen when you mix the Mississippi and the Georgian Bay. Rudy Bloom has a lot going on; her mother is eating herself to death, a soul crushing museum job, and her flamboyant best friend who humiliates and saves her in equal doses. And then there s a galaxy of odd planets that spin around her head. When Ruby s sent to New Orleans for work, she finds an astronomer in an attic that just might be the way out of her chaotic solar system."
