Gr 3–7—Etan has become selectively mute since his mother left. He spends most of his time with his grandfather in
his jewelry shop. Delivering a package outside of his San Francisco neighborhood, Etan befriends Malia, known by
kids as "the Creature" because of her eczema. This novel in verse depicts a beautiful friendship, a dose of history,
and a pinch of magical realism set against the backdrop of the 6.9 magnitude earthquake that devastated the area in
1989.

Ethan - traumatized after his mother leaves - is unable to speak, his new friend Malia suffers from debilitating eczema, and his father and grandfather argue about observing the High Holy Days during the World Series. Set in a multicultural community in 1989, this story in verse weaves elements of history and magical realism in a memorable tale of families, friendship, and faith. (Sydney Taylor Middle Grade Notable)
This is a heartfelt book with main characters who are hopeful, young and who take risks. There are earthquakes --it's San Francisco in 1989
