From the acclaimed author of Hurricane Season, an unforgettable story about what makes a family, for fans of Hazelâs Theory of Evolution and Ivy Aberdeenâs Letter to the World.
Â
Eleven-year-old Joey is angry. All the time. And she doesnât understand why. She has two loving moms, a supportive older half brother, and, as a triplet, sheâs never without company. Her life is good. But sometimes she loses her temper and lashes out, like the time she threw a soccer ballâhardâat a boy in gym class and bruised his collarbone. Or when jealousy made her push her (former) best friend (and crush), Layla, a little bit too roughly.
After a meltdown at Joeyâs apartment building leads to her familyâs eviction, Joey is desperate to figure out why sheâs so mad. A new unit in science class makes her wonder if the reason is genetics. Does she lose control because of something she inherited from the donor her mothers chose?
The Science of Being Angry is a heartwarming story about what makes a family and what makes us who we are.
