Martin, Ann M. A Corner of the Universe. Scholastic, 2002.
Dr. Ferguson chose this book because:
“Twelve-year-old Hattie’s universe unexpectedly expands upon meeting Adam, her twenty-one-year-old uncle who happens to be likeable, intelligent, and mentally ill. Similarly, the universe of my own daughter, Annie, expanded upon reading about Hattie, Adam, their adventures, and Adam’s tragic suicide. ‘Reading A Corner of the Universe changes the way you think about people with mental illness and how we treat them’ commented Annie. What more can we ask of a book?”
