We Are All Made of Molecules

Thirteen-year-old Stewart Inkster is academically brilliant but "e;ungifted"e; socially. Fourteen-year-old Ashley Anderson is the undisputed "e;It"e; girl of grade nine, but her marks stink. Their worlds are about to collide when Stewart and his dad move in with Ashley and her mom. "e;The Brady Bunch"e; it isn't. Stewart is trying to be 89.9% happy about it, but Ashley is 110% horrified. She already has to hide the truth behind her parents' divorce; "e;Spewart"e; could further threaten her position at the top of the social ladder. They are complete opposites. And yet, no matter their differences, they share one thing in common: they--like the rest of us--are all made of molecules.     Written in alternating voices, Susin Nielsen deftly explores family tragedy and family ties; sibling rivalry and union; and adolescent confusion and revelation.
