The Extraordinary Orbit of Alex Ramirez Yi-Hsuan Wu Piece together the magical adventureA powerful debut novel in verse about a neurodivergent seventh grader who dreams of traveling to the stars one day. This story is about a boy who is certain of his own magic in the midst of the doubtful adults around him. A kid who knows not even the sky, but the stars are the limit. Which makes Paulino's debut extraordinary. Jason Reynolds, author of National Book Award finalist Look Both Ways and Newbery Honor Book Long Way Down Seventh grader
