Orbiting Jupiter is a realistic fiction book by GARY D.SCHIDT this book is about a young boy changing and growing though the story but every one don’t belief he is going to change but only his foster family even when he almost killed a teacher, he was incarcerated at a place called Stone Mountain, and having a daughter. The author believes that

People can change even though they have gone through a bad period of time in their life. In the start of the story “when my father got Rosie he asked Joseph if he’d like to try milking her Joseph shook his head. “and in the middle of the of the story

“When Rosie heard us, she turned head back and mooed her happy moo and waggled her rump to tell Joseph she loves him cows can be like that sometimes and may be Rosie knew Joseph needed her to be like that. “and in the end of the story Joseph saved Jack, “no said Joseph no dad I’m coming with you let’s go” this shows us how Joseph changed through the story at the first Joseph doesn’t want to talk to anyone and kept everything to himself and in the end he saved jack and (spoiler alert )even sacrificed himself.

I think it’s a really good book to read especially for teenagers because it’s vocabulary is actually pretty easy, this book can tell teenagers a lesson, and there is a pretty big flip at the end of the story.
