A Corner of the Universe

De: Ann M. Martin

Narrado por: Judith Ivey

Hattie Owen enjoys the familiarity of her small-town life, but during the summer she turns 12, her world is turned upside down with the arrival of an uncle no one has ever spoken about. Now that Hattie’s uncle’s “school”—an institution for the mentally disabled—is closing, Hattie's family must deal with a childlike young man whose existence they’ve denied for years. And Hattie experiences a summer that expands her world in the most unpredictable ways.©2002 Ann M.

My favorite as a child and still to this day

Adam taught me to always say happiness... well written and voiced couldn't put it down

Loved It

My teenage daughter & I really enjoyed listening to this together. Most people binge watch...we binge listened! Lol

suicide in a 4th grade book

One of my 6th grade students asked me if I had read this book, and I had not. I decided to listen to it, since she had. I found it a little disturbing that one of the main characters commits suicide, and I feel like the author almost justifies that its ok. I won't recommend this to my 11- 12 year students.

Beautifully written

This book was listed to be weeded from the library. I we curious and thought I'd give it a try.
I was extremity happy with the choice.
I fell in love with Adam. Heartfelt and wonderful story.

I've learned a lesson!

amazing I love this book so much. I am now a ble to see the world in a different way.
