A Bucket of Stars is a Red Maple 2024 nominee. This is a story of family and friendship. Noah, Kyle, and their father have experienced some tough times. Noah's mom passed away and his father struggled to cope, becoming "Zombie Dad", as Noah and his brother said. This struggle forced the family to move from Alberta to their dad's childhood home. Noah and Kyle are not thrilled about this, but then the two begin making friends and start to adjust. Noah comes up with a plan to help his dad get back on track, but obstacles are in the way. I really enjoyed this story and recommended this book to anyone who enjoys realistic fiction.
I am a book loving elementary school teacher librarian. This blog reflects my personal opinions about the books I have read and is intended to be used by students and teachers who are looking for a book recommendation.
